So Sad [German translation]

I waited all that morning to hear him say I love you

So sure it was so certain it was left unspoken

My heart it was breaking as he pulled back the curtains

He said nothing when he left me, he left me so heartbroken and

So sad, so sad

Oh yes, I waited all that mornin' to hear him say I love you

In the mornin' light he glistened like a ruby in a stickpin

Then he whispered something to the wet red-lettered window

He said nothing, he left me so heartbroken and

So sad, so sad

Well, Shorty's in the poolroom, Billy's in the chute

Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot

Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme

I am not in prison, I am only doin' time

Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands

Elvis died in Memphis, boys they nailed him in one hand

Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime

Mickey died in Tennessee, they buried him alive

And I am so, so sad

That was the best he had

Oh yes, I waited all that morning and so many mornings after

So many lonely hours staring at the rafters

Until I would close my eyes and I would feel you next to me

But with the dawn so sure to come will go my sweetest sleep

So sad

That was the best I had

So sad
