[Verse 1]
I wore a painted smile today
I mixed my tears with wine
I saw a young girl walk away
Into the lonely, the child is lonely
Sunshine and roses, the story closes
[Chorus]
Who thought the unloved could write a sad song?
Who thought the unloved could understand?
Who was the old man up in the rain clouds?
Who was the unloved to walk the land?
[Verse 2]
I saw an old man cry today
No one asked him why
I lost the sun, I tried to play
Will keeps turning, the pain of learning
The eyes of sorrow have no tomorrow
[Chorus]
Who thought the unloved could write a sad song?
Who thought the unloved could understand?
Who was the old man up in the rain clouds?
Who was the unloved to walk the land?
[Bridge]
Standing in the night by the harbor line and I call your name
Staring into space and the image of your face returned again
[Chorus]
Who thought the unloved could write a sad song?
Who thought the unloved could understand?
Who was the old man up in the rain clouds?
Who was the unloved to walk the land?
Who thought the unloved could write a sad song?
Who thought the unloved could understand?
Who was the old man up in the rain clouds?
Who was the unloved to walk the land?
Ballad of the Unloved was written by Larry Weiss & Scott English.
Ballad of the Unloved was produced by John Pantry & Nick Ryan & Jerry Ross.
