[Opening Verse] (Soft, mournful)
Oh, sorrow, thy name, a quiet song,
A shadow deep, where I belong.
Thy veil, it falls like autumn rain,
A whispered hymn of tender pain.
[Bridge] (Rising gently, sustained)
Through twilight’s glow and midnight’s tear,
Your voice is soft, yet ever near.
In every sigh, in every breath,
You cradle love within your depth.
[Chorus] (Soaring, ethereal)
Oh, sorrow sweet, your melody flows,
In aching hearts, your beauty grows.
A fragile thread through joy and pain,
You sing the loss, you bind the strain.
Oh, sorrow deep, a mournful stream,
You weave the night into the dream.
[Verse 2] (Flowing, reflective)
Oh, sorrow, thy touch, a soft caress,
A bittersweet, unspoken rest.
In every tear, in every plea,
You hold the echoes of what could be.
[Interlude] (Instrumental, haunting)
(Strings and piano echo a flowing melody, like ripples across a still lake, rising into a faint soprano vocalise.)
[Verse 3] (Building, soaring high)
Oh, sorrow, thy voice, a song of grace,
A mirror bright where memories trace.
Through your embrace, I find the way,
To bear the dawn of a brighter day.
[Chorus] (Higher, fuller, more vibrant)
Oh, sorrow sweet, your melody flows,
In aching hearts, your beauty grows.
Through darkest nights, your truth remains,
A bond that soothes, that still sustains.
Oh, sorrow vast, a sacred hymn,
A light within the shadows dim.
[Final Verse] (Triumphant yet tender)
Oh, sorrow, thou art the keeper of time,
A poet’s pen, a mournerVeil of Sorrow
