Norah Jones "Tragedy" lyrics

Tragedy

It's a tragedy (x4)

He was only 25Had an open heart and tender mindHe sang through all the hymns he knewHe was searching for a higher sound

When his water was turned to wineAll the darkness became lightBaby's an impatient wifeThey just wouldn't have to keep him high

So he gave them upJust to fill his cupEvery sip will make him feel aliveNo bones in his body were dry

It's a tragedy (x4)

Now he's finally come aroundHe's got wrinkles and a crooked frownHe holds back tears thinking of the yearsWhen the bottle had him all tied down

So we sit, have another roundSinging Hallelujah till he drowns

It's a tragedy (x8)

Mmm...
