The Next Verse - beautiful south[00:00:01]
There was a pool table there at the wedding[00:00:18]
That most of the men stood and played[00:00:24]
Whilst the women danced in their melancholy[00:00:28]
Till the last song started to fade[00:00:33]
And as D J turned the lights up[00:00:37]
And packed his records away[00:00:43]
He noticed a lonely figure still there[00:00:48]
So quietly turned to say[00:00:53]
Tears you thought lasted a lifetime[00:00:58]
Won't last too much more than a day[00:01:02]
And you'll prove that you still have your strength left[00:01:06]
When you wipe those tears away well away[00:01:11]
Roses in garden bring joy to the bleak[00:01:21]
Lilies save wretched from worse[00:01:26]
Music lifts up those too weary to speak[00:01:31]
So sister you sing the next verse[00:01:35]
The path in life that you have taken[00:01:52]
I can figure out just from your frown[00:01:56]
Either it's down the up escalator[00:02:01]
Or maybe sometimes up the down[00:02:06]
And you may not feel that you have traveled[00:02:10]
But sure as hell been across town[00:02:15]
And certainly if story unraveled[00:02:20]
You've lost more than you've ever found[00:02:25]
One thing's for certain you've traveled[00:02:30]
And a not too dissimilar route[00:02:34]
Those ups and downs and rounds after rounds[00:02:39]
You're wearing them just like a suit like a suit[00:02:44]
So if roses in garden bring joy to the bleak[00:02:53]
Lilies save wretched from worse[00:02:58]
Music lifts up those too weary to speak[00:03:03]
Then D J I'll take the next verse[00:03:07]
So sister judge strength not by muscle[00:03:14]
Or weight that your body can lift[00:03:19]
But by heavyweight heart that you carry[00:03:23]
That no other young woman could shift[00:03:28]
Hey Mr D J a special request[00:03:33]
Play that last record for me[00:03:38]
And make it as long and as painfully sad[00:03:43]
As any slow ballad could be[00:03:46]
As any slow ballad could be[00:03:52]
