Sad Lisa

The latest song that has me all mesmerized is this song by Cat Stevens called Sad Lisa.

It is a total contrast to my other favourite Cat Stevens song, "Morning Has Broken". While that song was all about joy and happiness, this one's a sad song, a real tear-jerker.

The song starts with just piano and vocals, and after a while there's some very mild guitaring, and piano is the essense of the song. Towards the end there's a haunting violin solo, which so beautifully gels with the rest of the song.

Only a genius like Cat Stevens can come up with such masterpieces!

Lyrics of the song:

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what's making you sadly?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me.
'Cause you know that's how it must be.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

Her eyes like windows, tricklin' rain
Upon her pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in a hall, she can't hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.

She sits in a corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her.
I'll do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her.
Though I know no one can see her.

Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.
