Sing Me a Song - Cowboy Junkies

Sing me a song about life in America

Sing me a song of love

Sing me a song about life in your neighbourhood

Sing me a song of love

I know a man who dropped to his knees

Clasping his hands in prayer

Beside him, she said:

«It looks more like grief»

But mostly she just didn’t care

Tell me a tale about the one you keep near

Sing me a song of joy

Tell me a tale about those that are dear

Sing me a song of joy

She veiled her days in pale hues of gray

The brightness of her children an undoing

She spent all her days in a cold burning rage

The brightness of her children was galling

Unburden your hearts, let loose your fear

Sing me a song of forgiveness

Make a fresh start, face all your fears

Sing me a song of forgiveness

He came to that moment in every man’s life

He confronted the path before him

Betrayed by the emptiness days without light

He turned and he made a decision

Sing me a song of love

Sing me a song of joy

Beside him, she said:

«It looked more like regret»

But mostly she would like to forget

Sing me a song of love

Sing me a song of joy
