In the breathless hush of four a.m. In the dark sits a sad cliché Cloaked in the navy blue Of slowly fading stars Tell me how this came to be Sleeplessness talk to me She'd say over and over again Fumbling through a cut-gla** vase Pa**ing lipstick, cotton spools Burning jealous pictures of marriages Of friends You never asked to be The glutton of sympathy She says over and and over That this is the end 'Cause I see it in your eyes What you don't know, time to let go I see it in your eyes There is so much more out there to be learned Such mournful words On this white snow vacant page
All the lessons that she learns She packs away Will you never cease to be The glutton of sympathy She writes over and over Again That's when I see it in your eyes What you don't know, time to let go I see it in your eyes There is so much more out there to be learned Tossing, turning, roll away Indecision, won't you ever make up your mind Lifetime, nighttime, wake the day 'Cause tomorrow will see If you've had your fill of sympathy Will you never cease to be The glutton of sympathy Oh, don't you know the stars are all fading Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile
