Daniel Johnston - True Grief lyrics

Once upon a stage [and he been a phrase?] The public has come to see The sa-adest singer And he's playing, playing the song And it's a cla**ic And his fingers, fingers are bleeding And his heart is aching out loud And the people are clapping and clapping and clapping And the song he is playing just goes on and on and on And it seems like it will never stop Then everybody gets up and does a hop - yeah Then the entertainer Chained to the piano Gives a nervous grin To the ma**ive crowd He says here's one about the day I really broke my heart And he sheds a tear, the audience applauds Everyone shouting - he's so sincere I can't believe he's here The he does his famous Song of sorrow and his melody of pain And he bows And the curtain falls And the white in his eyes Is reflecting light from the ceiling As he prays alone a silent prayer To his lover whom he lost Whom he sings about Whom he thinks about all the time He sits for a little bit And then he writes another hit - ohohoh
