They always tell a sorry story They always get it in the end Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then With a winning smile the boy With naivety succeeds At the final moment, I cried I always cry at endings B - F# again a few times Verse 3: Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all >From where I'm sitting, rain Washing against the lonely tenement Has set my mind to wander Into the windows of my lovers They never know unless I write "This is no declaration, I just I'd let you know goodbye" Said the hero in the story "It is mightier than swords I could kill you sure But I could only make you cry with these words" Cry with these words Ooh!
