Wesley Randolph Eader – Sorrows for a Song Lyrics
Artist: Wesley Randolph Eader
Song: Sorrows for a Song
The skies have settled gray with worry
The summer winds are in a hurry
Some say they won’t return with empty hands
They’ll bring a rush of new beginnings
Open skies and birds-a-singing
They can lift your broken legs to stand
So hang your hopes on the last horizon
Close to the sun where it comes risin’
Warm winds they’ll soon be blowing strong
They’ll blow across the tears you cry
And whisper as they pass you by
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
Love’s a different form of learning
No thinking mind just a heart that’s burning
You never know what’s below it’s burned out coals
Could be the prayers from a thousand mornings
Or one desperate night of trying
To think of ways to fill your emptied soul
January won’t be remembered
Forgotten long before December
A year is just a year and that ain’t long
You’ll find a beauty to see more clearly
A hand that you can hold more dearly
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
Your words bow to the lords of language
Their ancient scrolls can’t seem to manage
To give you lines that you haven’t heard before
You’ve read a library full of poems
You’re convinced you could’ve wrote them
There’s a secret place inside you where they’re stored
You tried to speak your purest feelings
The world found them too revealing
Now every word you say just comes out wrong
But soon the muse will kiss you softly
Say to you “it’s far too costly”
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
You’ve heard rumors of a foreign kingdom
Where other tortured souls found freedom
You’ll never make it there by wind or sail
It’s built upon a will so broken
Surrender is it’s royal welcome
May take you forty years before you fail
Behind your eyes there’s a thousand miles
Where you once stood as a child
But you locked the final door into that dawn
You carved the key out of being lonely
But the door will open for one thing only
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
Come and trade your sorrows for a song
