the day that our babies left us alone
we fell from the mountain of love
now we're stuck in our wheelchairs and
crumble on crutches and can't find our
way up

above where luck is a Siren and pleasure
a joke it may be years till you first
smile
that's where we live and that's where
you are stumblin' in single file

for every teardrop is a
river in the Valley of Pain
and every sigh is a whirlwind
that sweeps the pattering rain
each broken heart is a yawn, each
broken dream a ball and chain
life's a lamentation
in the Valley of Pain When

we finally found out that life
is cruel rollin' on just like a ball
(always the same way)
we turned and were blind
for everything and all

raise your head and take a look
you see we fell from high
oh boy, you won't get out of here
now hang your head and cry
