Woman of Sorrow-Collab

Drink to her whose sorrow Has aroused a poet's sigh; A woman who brought tomorrow What treasure can never buy. Her words are penned with sadness And often an empty tone; Along with all those feelings In a sea of tears from feeling alone. Here's to her whose sorrow Has made many a poet cry; Her words are read with tears That rain like love from the sky. Now the sea will drink her tears With those we try to hide; Here's to her whose sorrow Flows free from deep down inside.
