Sorrow (For Leonard and William) Lyrics

I've been waiting here for her for my sentence
And I haven't said a word of anger here
But I didn't see her running 'til it hit me
She's been living right behind me all these years

And I never found an ending to my suffering
She opened every door I should have closed
With the mercy of a hundred hungry animals
Sorrow she shows dressed in ribbons and bows

So long my baby
I know it I know
So long my baby
I know it I know
Can't we fall apart together tonight

And I studied every wrinkle on the pillow at my head
And sucked the sunken breath from deep within
She carved into the body of my memory and said
Let not your sorrows die though while in bed

And I'm living with her now inside her temple
She moves enough to let my patience grow
And then I hear the ringing in the tower
Sorrow she shows dressed in ribbons and bows

So long my baby
I know it I know
So long my baby
I know it I know
Can't we fall apart together tonight

So long my baby
I know it I know
So long my baby
I know it I know
Can't we fall apart together tonight
Can't we fall apart together

Workin' for the Music Man

I've been waiting here for her for my sentence
And I haven't said a word of anger here
But I didn't see her running 'til it hit me
She's been living right behind me all these years

And I never found an ending to my suffering
She opened every door I should have closed
With the mercy of a hundred hungry animals
Sorrow she shows dressed in ribbons and bows

So long my baby
I know it I know
So long my baby
I know it I know
Can't we fall apart together tonight

And I studied every wrinkle on the pillow at my head
And sucked the sunken breath from deep within
She carved into the body of my memory and said
Let not your sorrows die though while in bed

And I'm living with her now inside her temple
She moves enough to let my patience grow
And then I hear the ringing in the tower
Sorrow she shows dressed in ribbons and bows

So long my baby
I know it I know
So long my baby
I know it I know
Can't we fall apart together tonight

So long my baby
I know it I know
So long my baby
I know it I know
Can't we fall apart together tonight
Can't we fall apart together

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
