Sorrow Has A Way

Album: The Seven Autumn Flowers [2004]
Author: Robert James Wratten

How do I start to make things better, in the face of the worst thing ever?

This was never going to be pretty. I was always going to feel guilty

You can’t stop crying, and why should you? Though selfishly I wish you could do

Sorrow has a way of stealing. This has got the better of you

But I can be there for you to come back to when you come back. Just come back

I don’t want to replace her love. Oh I just want to do it justice

  

Let me live up to her love

If I can’t love you as much at least let me love you more than enough. I’m so lucky to have won your love

Let me give you all you deserve. It’s so easy to see why you were everything to her. You’re so easy to love

You’re so easy to love 

 

Longing for some instant distance. But that’s not how it works with grieving 

Helpless to do anything but hold you. Through the tears and through the shaking

But I can be there for you to come back to when you come back. Just come back

I don’t want to replace her love. Oh I just want to do it justice

  

Let me live up to her love

If I can’t love you as much at least let me love you more than enough. I’m so lucky to have won your love

Let me give you all you deserve

It’s so easy to see why you were everything to her. You’re so easy to love 

You’re so easy to love
