A'ight It's an old song It's an old tale from way back when It's an old song And that is how it ends That's how it goes Don't ask why, brother, don't ask how He could have come so close The song was written long ago And that is how it goes It's a sad song It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy It's a sad song But we sing it anyway Cause here's the thing To know how it ends And still begin to sing it again As if it might turn out this time I learned that from a friend of mine See, Orpheus was a poor boy Anybody got a match? But he had a gift to give Gimme that He could make you see how the world could be In spite of the way that it is Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it like a train? Is it coming? Is it coming this way? On a sunny day, there was a railroad car And a lady steppin' off a train Everybody looked and everybody saw That spring had come again With a love song With a love song With a love song With a tale of a love from long ago It's a sad song It's a sad song But we keep singin' even so It's an old song It's an old song It's an old tale from way back when And we're gonna sing it again and again We're gonna sing, we're gonna sing It's a love song It's a tale of a love from long again It's a sad song We keep singing even so It's an old song It's an old tale from way back when And we're gonna sing it again and again
