Sadness / Love Me When I'm Dead

The story's been told a million fold Of an artist's search for fame As the years go by His soul cries out in vain All in fun when all's been done Can you bear the weight The tears you cry Will never change your fate [Chorus]: Lust for life And hands that worked so clever The sadness lasts forever When the battles been lost a costly cost Rotting in the grave As the years go by The world is left to blame [Chorus]: Lust for life And hands that worked so clever The sadness lasts forever ------------------------------------------------- Did you love him as he died on the cross Did you learn the meaning, end or cause On and on you know I heard it said They'll only listen when you are dead No recognition for a shining jewel Why do men have to be so cruel It won't be the first, it won't be the last In the future and in the past No excuses for mistake There's always someone left to forsake [Chorus]: Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead No avow for the sublime It will be that way 'til the end of time In each and all there's instilled some good But little or nothing's left understood Criticizing all that is true Just going on what you thought you know It won't be the first, it won't be the last In the future and it's been in the past [Chorus]: Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead That's the way it's going to be It'll be you and me to make history In the future in the past It won't be the first it won't be the last [Chorus]: Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead Love me when I'm dead
