There was nothing left to find,
I went looking for a home
With a window and a room,
all the houses had been sold
When looking for a woman,
she was pretty hard to find
And I never quite found out if
I was trying to find a song,
I just couldn't get satisfied
For the songs that I kept singing
Had been a long time left behind
Oh, how do you do, sorrow?
Finally get to see the blues
Teardrops, finally get to feel you
I went out to meet the people,
but I found out pretty fast
People I kept meeting weren't
the ones that were gonna last
I went looking for myself,
Is that really me in the mirror,
with the tears dripping to the corner of my mouth?
Oh, how do you do, sorrow?
Finally get to see the blues
Oh, how do you do, teardrops?
Oh, mama, how I'm gonna try
Oh, people, I'm gonna try, gon na try to love you,
gonna try to love you long, long before I die.
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna try, gonna try to love you,
gonna try to love you long, long before I die.
