Pete Remm - Tragedy lyrics

[Intro] It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy [Verse 1] He was only 25 Had an open heart and tender mind He sang through all the hymns he knew He was searching for a higher sign When his water was turned to wine All the darkness became light Babies and a patient wife They just weren't enough to keep him high So he gave them up Just to fill his cup Every sip would make him feel alive No bones in his body were dry [Chorus] It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy [Verse 2] Now he's finally coming around He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown He holds back tears thinking of the years That the bottle had him all tied down So he'd sit and have another round Singing Hallelujah till he drowns [Chorus] It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy It's a tragedy
