Bilingual
Sing a song of sad young men
Glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men, sitting in the bars
Knowing neon nights
Missing all the stars
All the sad young men
Drifting through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown
All the sad young men singing in the cold
Trying to forget that they're growing old
All the sad young men choking on their youth
Trying to be brave
Running from the truth
Autumn turns the leaves to gold
Slowly dies the heart
Sad young men are growing old
That's the saddest part
All the sad young men
Seek a certain smile
Someone that they can hold just for a little while
Tired little girl
Does the best she can
Trying to be gay
For a sad young man
While a grimy moon
Watches from above
All the sad young men
They play at making love
Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light guide them home again
All the sad young men
