Sad Eyes

He has a deep sadness - perhaps depression - and it is distancing him from her. She can't reach him. She keeps things together practically, waiting for him to reach out to her. She tries to make her love for him light, not another burden. She knows he feels the pain of their strained relationship and that he feels lonely in his depression. Yet he cannot do anything but alienate her, and she is unable to draw him out of himself. It's an unbelievably sad song. I've been through this and for me, it captures the mood perfectly.

these lyrics are wrong. the correct words throughout the song are

I don't like the things you don't say Leaving it for such a long long time Why do you show me those sad sad eyes Each time you decide to passo n by?

And when you smile those sad sad eyes look sadder and sadder still...

Autumn's hue in those sad eyes Makes me love and love them more I'll have a bath, I'll make the dinner Then I'll go away for a long, long time But still, you've not passed by door

I can tell that you're lonely but it seems now, there's nothing you want me to do I won't try to take the sadness from those eyes that I love Leave it open for someone else to.

Trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night...

this album breaks my heart

I agree with moominhannah

She cant reach out to him and in the end has to just give up

aren't half the lyrics missing at the end?

the end goes like this:

Trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Sad eyes baby Its been such a long time Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night...

Sad eyes I'm trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Sad eyes baby Its been such a long time Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night...

Can't listen to this song once without crying.

My dad's father (my grandpa) died not too long ago, and I can tell that my dad has been feeling depressed. I know that he tries to cover it up when he is around me, because he's not an open person, exactly like me, also an attempt to not worry me. But, like this song describes, I could tell by his sad eyes that he's torn apart.

So beautifully sad it almost draws blood.

The saddest song. I agree with Moominhannah.

Maybe it's not that there's this deep depression, though. Maybe it's just that he doesn't want to be in the relationship anymore but can't tell her. And she, sensing that, lets him go. It's this beautiful, terrible recognition that something she has poured so much of her self into and worked so hard to maintain is gone before it's over.

Can't listen to or sing without crying.

this is song is so beautiful... apparently natasha drank and smoked loads before recording this song just to get into the sad mood... she's so awesome
