Stars they sink in the oceans of ink
E*
Long black ribbons of cars
And in the taxi you ask me how I'm doing
But you already know
Beyond, beyond is not through
E*
It's only a reflection of you
Something's at the window, it motions with it's fingers
Calling me beyond
The Sadness is mine
The Sadness is mine
[nc]
It's why you're not helping me
Whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me please
Oh tell me this is only a warning
Riff 3
No please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and
I'm almost gone
[nc]
In her heart is my faith and it wins
against the sadness
Riff 4

The train it moves through the desert
E*
The horses they will challenge its stride
And into the boxcar
she leaps and is my hero
and penetrates the demons inside
The clouds they pass but they're moving so fast
E*
I watch them collide
Collide and collapse
in her arms like a newborn child
And I'm at once reborn
The Sadness is mine
The Sadness is mine
[nc]
It's why you're not helping me
Whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me please
Oh tell me this is only a warning
Riff 3
No please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and
I'm almost gone
[nc]
In her heart is my faith and it wins
against the sadness

The fog in the moat as it grabs my throat
E*
It lifts as she comes
She o-pens her coat
And it's the color of the blood
C E Riff 5
and is the sign of what now must come
Deny, deny me my destiny
E*
I am not ready to go
I am no whore
that brings us to the morning
Where I will have to stand and fight God
The Sadness is mine
The Sadness is mine
[nc]
It's why you're not helping me
Whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me please
Oh tell me this is only a warning

No please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and
I'm almost gone
[nc]
In her heart is my faith and it wins
against the sadness
