There’s a bare place of dried leaves
Girls spin in the street crying
And the fate of glory flames them away
Wildly, like leaves on fire

(Chorus)*
Cry on my shoulder sad boy
It’s okay to be sad
I can’t tell you to be happy
This place can be very sad

Find the man on the corner
Bearing the green rose,
Kneel to him, kiss his hand
Take his had start over

He’ll evaporate, vanish
Reborn another dark day
Sees himself of yesterday
And he knows how people change

*(Chorus)

He is the red buttterfly
That’ll burp fire from his cacoon
He disapears, born again, not the same

The pheonix man, watch him change

He’s alone on the staircase
Like ghostly premonition
Before you find him, see him, hold him
He’ll vanish and die again

*

Come into my arms and cry
I’ll hold you with me very tight
Twine with me, I’m so so sad
Kiss me lots, I know you boy

*2

There are so many people
Trying to fulfill eachother
Like so many bright torches
To scar your seared wound on

Let me cry on your shoulder
I’m sorry I’m so sad
I was going to be strong for you, hold me
Cry on my shoulder sad boy

*
