The Four Strings of Mourning Lyrics


Some tales say morrow knows

I know not why they say so

Some go where sorrow goes

I know not where they do go

One comes with winter's wind

To tell a tale of mourning

One free as summer's sin

To tell a tale of mourning

Spinning around in circles everyday

Spinning around and finding no new way

Spinning around, spinning around they say

I wish them all dead anyway

So sing the poets then

I know not why they sing so

So go they sorrow's friends

I know not where they do go

One comes with autumn's rain

And sings a song of mourning

One sets the spring aflame

And sings a song of mourning

Spnning around in circles everyday

Spinning around and finding no new way

Spinning around, spinning around they say

I wish they all could go away
