Marc Cohn
Girl of Mysterious Sorrow
[Verse 1]
I'm coming to see you
Tomorrow sometime
Gonna bring you some roses
Gonna tear off the vines
Gonna talk to the wind
That blows through the trees
Kiss you like always
From down on my knees

[Chorus]
Gonna ask you some questions
Get no replies
Wipe all the tears
Falling down from my eyes
'Cause the one that I wanted
I never could know
Girl of mysterious sorrow
Girl of mysterious sorrow

[Verse 2]
Gonna park in the street
Gonna open the gate
Walk to the spot where you always wait
I'll be shaking my head
Like I usually do
'Cause the name and the dates
Tell me nothing about you
[Chorus]
But I'll sit in the shadows
And let you explain
All of the sadness and all of the pain
Did it all seem so hopeless
You just had to let go?
Girl of mysterious sorrow
Girl of mysterious sorrow

[Post-Chorus]
Mysterious
Mysterious (Yeah)
Mysterious
Mysterious

[Verse 3]
Yeah I'm coming to see you
But I really can't stay
There's just a few things I needed to say
Like why were you hiding
So much of yourself?
Why were you living for somebody else?

[Chorus]
Well I know that I've always
Been looking for you
Lately it's not such a hard thing to do
'Cause it seems like inside
Every woman I know
There's a girl of mysterious sorrow
A girl of mysterious sorrow
[Post-Chorus]
Mysterious
Mysterious (Yeah, yeah)
Mysterious
Sorrow

[Outro]
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
