It's an old song
It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song
And that is how it ends
That's how it goes
Don't ask why, brother, don't ask how
He could have come so close
The song was written long ago
And that is how it goes
It's a sad song
It's a sad tale
It's a tragedy
It's a sad song
But we sing it anyway
'Cause here's the thing
To know how it ends
And still begin to sing it again
As if it might turn out this time
I learned that from a friend of mine

See, Orpheus was a poor boy
Anybody got a match?
But he had a gift to give
Gimme that
He could make you see how the world could be
In spite of the way that it is
Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it like a train?
Is it coming?
Is it coming this way?
On a sunny day, there was a railroad car
And a lady steppin' off a train
Everybody looked and everybody saw
That spring had come again
With a love song
With a love song
With a love song
With a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song
It's a sad song
It's a sad song
But we keep singin' even so
It's an old song
It's an old song
It's an old song
It's an old song
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it again and again
We're gonna sing, we're gonna sing
It's a love song (It's a love song, a love song)
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song (It's a sad song)
It's a sad song
We keep singing even so
It's an old song (It's an old song)
It's an old song
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it again and again
We're gonna sing it again
