A Sadness Runs Through Him - The Hoosiers

People are puppets held together with string

There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him

As he asked me to pray to the god

He doesn't believe in

Time and again boys are raised to be men

Impatient they start fearful at end

But here was a man mourning tomorrow

He drank but finally drown in his sorrow

He could not brace up his tension

He looked in the wrong place for redemption

Don't look at me with those eyes;

I tried to unheave the ties

Turn back the time that drew him

But he couldn't be saved

A sadness runs through him through him

Time and again boys are raised to be men

Impatient they start fearful at end

But here was a man mourning tomorrow

Who drank but finally drown in his sorrow

He could not brace up his tension

He looked in the wrong place for redemption

Don't look at me with those eyes

I tried to unheave the ties

Turn back the time that drew him

But he couldn't be saved

A sadness runs through him through him

Don't look Don't look Don't Don't

Don't look at me with those eyes

I tried to unheave the ties

Turn back the time that drew him

But he couldn't be saved

No he couldn't be saved

Sadness runs through him
