A Song for the Drunk and Broken Hearted

Song: A Song for the Drunk and Broken Hearted

Artist: Passenger

Lyrics: Michael David Rosenberg

Composed: Michael David Rosenberg

Sweet Sunday afternoon September's golden brown

Summer always fades too soon like the laughter of a clown

Shadows fill the room where sorrows come to drown

Your heart's a late bloom as you sink another one down

I know it knows the way you feel

Blurs what is right and what is real

There's no love left you could steal

For the joker love is so long

As the jesters outsmarts it

And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost

And the sad mind sings a song

For the drunk and broken-hearted

And the fool he never knows how much it cost

The sweet Sunday afternoon and all that candy heart

Is an old familiar tune for you've forgotten half the words

The sunlight floods the room like a silent flock of birds

And hopes a red bloom disappearing through the clouds

I know it knows the way you feel

Blurs what is right and what is real

And there's no one here to make a deal with

For the joker love is so long

And the jesters outsmarts it

And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost

Oh and the sad mind he sings a song

For the drunk and broken-hearted

And the fool he never knows how much it cost

Yeah well the joker he loves the long

As the jesters outsmarts it

And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost

Oh and the sad mind he sings a song

For the drunk and broken-hearted

Oh and the fool he never knows how much it cost

Well the fool he never knows how much it cost
