Sad (Lyrics)

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Vedder

Lyrics:

All the photographs were peeling
And colors turned to gray
He stayed... in his room with memories for days
He faced... an undertow of futures laid to waste
Embraced... by the loss of what he could not replace

There is no reason that she passed
And there is no god with a plan
It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
It's sad... he could only love you
It's sad

The door swings to a passing fable
A fate we may delay
We say... holding on...delivered in our own brace
He let
Lost Dogs

Comments

One of my favorite.....

Definitely should have made it onto Binaural.

I love this song! Can't believe it didn't make it on Binaural. Saw them perform it in Grand Rapids...Amazing!

This is very Good, even Best of PJ`s.

ONE OF THE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH. TRULY A HEARTWRENCHING LOVESONG.

Where are the rest of the lyrics? Why does it cut off?

(rest of lyrics)
"...the door swings through a passing fable
a fate we may delay, we say
holding on, live within our embrace
eleven nights, he laid in bed
hoping that dreams will bring her back, it's sad
and his loneliness is cruel, it’s sad
he could only love you, it's sad

holding his last breath, believing
he'll make his way
but she's not forgotten
he's haunted
he's searching for escape

if just one wish could bring her back, it's sent
and his loneliness is proof, it's sad
he will always love you, he said"

now, how does this song is not included in a studio album, as for about most of lost dogs, is something i cant begin to understand....

Yeah, but how great is lost dogs?? its my favorite. I love it for its difference.

I have always loved this song, but it holds new meaning to me after losing a child last year. I think about my husband and his grief and how this song really captures what I see in his eyes. I love how their songs tell a story, but it fits into each of our lives so differently.

This song should never have been "lost" and it's certainly not a "dog". It may not have fit on Binaural, but it would have been the best song on that album if it did.

After the Boston show last night, I have now been lucky to have seen PJ do this song twice...so damn sweet and bittersweet.

Now that I've read the comment above mine, this song will probably move me even more.

Hmm... Where did you copy those lyrics??.. Hehe...
They are not the correct lyrics... Close, but stil... Hehe...

get me the right lyrics then!

the door swings through a passing fable
a fate we may delay, we say
holding on, live within our embrace
he lit a match, he laid in bed
hoping their dreams will bring her back, it's sad
and his loneliness is cruel, it's sad
he could only love you, it's sad

holding his last breath, believing
he'll make his way
if she's not forgotten
he's haunted
he's searching for escape

if just one wish could bring her back, it's sad
and his loneliness is proof, it's sad
he will always love you, it's sad

I saw it the first time played LIVE in Reading Pa....It was the Vote for change tour..Death Cab for Cutie opened up for them that night..

SAD is in my TOP 5 Pearl jam songs......

~ so beautiful to be here ~ hear <3
