Saddest Night in the World
JOHN MAUS
On the saddest night in the world, I lost my way, I lost a girl
And the rain came down in the streets, blinding the way, I wait for days
All night long I've been wondering how I'll carry on
Without you all the things that ever mattered all fell through
On the saddest night in the world, shop window girls, smiled through the rain
And the wet, grey figure called me looks for a man he used to be
Out of love, you've been running with you head held high
I said that it wouldn't matter, now without you I want to die
And the rain-drenched old lady selling flowers in the street
Knows you're gone
