There's a silence in the city
There's nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground
There's a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a new sound in the wires
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around
Something happened to the seasons
Started falling with the rain
Something changed forever
We gotta find a way
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's people in the photographs
They all had to run
They went away to somewhere
Beyond the setting sun
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall, fall, fall, fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall...
