[Verse 1]
There was a pool table there at the wedding
That most of the men stood and played
Whilst the women danced in their melancholy
Till the last song started to fade

And as DJ turned the lights up
And packed his records away
He noticed a lonely figure still there
So quietly turned to say

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Tears you thought lasted a lifetime
Won't last too much more than a day
And you'll prove that you still have your strength left
When you wipe those tears away, well away'

[Chorus 1]
Roses in garden bring joy to the bleak
Lilies save wretched from worse
Music lifts up those too weary to speak
So, sister you sing the next verse

[Verse 2]
The path in life that you have taken
I can figure out just from your frown
Either it's down the up escalator
Or maybe sometimes up the down
