lyrics

She's a painter of pictures
Of brand new addictions
Now the years begin to show
Her daughter said
"Don't let it go to your head,
just let that wheel roll"

She's a sculptress of missions
Of brand new editions
Drawing Shakespeare on the sheets
When the cold pours gray
No one can take away
All the promises that you keep

Sweet misery, what did you do to me?
When did your wings become so old?
Misery, sweet misery
You never did what you were told

She counts the passing of years
In a young girl's tears
And by the spinning of the clock
Like sand in tea
Or like a branch on the sea
Or like a slowly rusting lock

We never were good friends
But I knew you when
And put candles on your cake
Now you say
You want to make it OK
And wear diamonds on your cheek

Sweet misery, what can you do for me?
How did your wings become so old?
Misery, sweet misery
