From the recording Mosaic
O Sorrow is my conversation with sorrow, a challenging presence in all of our lives, from the initial shock of a deep loss to the integration and knowledge that our “architecture (has been) changed.”
Lyrics
Sorrow, I didn’t want to answer my door
When you came calling for me
Seems you’ll be settling in
Guess I must let you in
You’ll be my companion for a while
Sorrow, I didn’t want to offer my hand
On the many roads I did not know
But with you by my side
Listening to me in time
I found my way another mile
O sorrow, O sorrow
Do not devour me
Sorrow, I didn’t want to let you go
Not sure that you should take your leave
As long as you were here
My losses all were clear
But I know you can find me any time
O sorrow, O sorrow
Do not lose me
Sorrow, I didn’t want to answer my door
When you came calling for me
Now I’ve been rearranged
Architecture changed
With secrets you left behind
With secrets you left behind
With gifts you left behind
