Sade King of Sorrow Lyrics

I'm crying everyone's tears
And they're inside our private war I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do?
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothings any good

The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do, I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the King of Sorrow
The King of Sorrow

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay?
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothings any good

The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do, I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go?
I'm the King of Sorrow
The King of Sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothings any good

I'm the King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow
Sorrow
King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow
King of Sorrow
