he feels he's being punished
for the bad things he has done
'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time
and he is sitting at the table
he is begging for the courage to redeem some self respect
'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time
he says it takes a worried man
but he won't be worried long
he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
when she heard what he had to say
all that sun soon went away
he broke her heart on a cold and windy day
he says it takes a worried man
but he won't be worried long
and so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light
shadows cast but none obscure his sight
and they wonder where he is going
while he is knelt before her throat
refusing to go down without a fight
he says it takes a worried man
but he won't be worried long
