True Grief – Daniel Johnston – letras

Once upon a stage[and he been a phrase?]the public has come to seethe sa-adest singerAnd he’s playing, playing the songand it’s a classicand his fingers, fingers are bleedingand his heart is aching out loudAnd the people are clapping and clapping and clappingand the song he is playing just goes on and on and onand it seems like it will never stopthen everybody gets up and does a hop – yeahThen the entertainerchained to the pianogives a nervous grinto the massive crowdHe says here’s one aboutthe day I really broke my heartand he sheds a tear, the audience applaudseveryone shouting – he’s so sincereI can’t believe he’s hereThe he does his famoussong of sorrow and his melody of painand he bowsand the curtain fallsAnd the white in his eyesis reflecting light from the ceilingas he prays alone a silent prayerto his lover whom he lostwhom he sings aboutwhom he thinks about all the timehe sits for a little bitand then he writes another hit – ohohoh
