Planting in your garden body, sorrow catches on

Playing on your inhibitions, sorrow catches on

Racing through this deadly daydream

Restful now, sorrow's catching on

Sorrow's catching on



A woman's quarters smell so sweet but sorrow catches on

I dream a dream of freedom fading, sorrow catches on

Something tells me I'll be leaving

Fear decides, sorrow takes the day

Fear always gets his way



I've been a thousand people

Always keep my back against the wall

I'll be a thousand more and this will never change

I know what's happening

A cuddle here, a kind word there

Teeth sink easy into vein (into vein)

Pleasure fades and sorrow catches...on



And when I wake up in the morning I'm a fire in my bed

And until I fall asleep that night I'm dead to the world

Just like all the boys and girls out there

Waiting for their lover's voice to call

And I can almost hear her footsteps in the hall

But you know it's only sorrow (only sorrow)

After all



I try to find my kind of love but sorrow catches on

(Sorrow catches on)

Passion cools and caution rules when sorrow catches on

(Sorrow catches on)

Something tells me I'm the loser

I decline, remindful of my sins

And sorrow always wins



I've been a thousand people

Always keep my back against the wall

I'll be a thousand more and this will never change

I know what's happening

A cuddle here, a kind word there

Teeth sink easy into vein (into vein)

Pleasure fades and sorrow catches on



I've known a thousand people

Always keep my back against the wall

I'll know a thousand more and this will never change

I can see it happening

(I can see it happening)

This true love melting over me (over me)

Lips move gently so divine (so divine)

Right over mine

And sorrow whispers...come along

He's catching on
