Sad Lisa

Words & Music:

Cat Stevens

 

    Em                             D   C

She hangs her head and cries in my shirt,

    D       Em        D  G

She must be hurt very badly.

               D          Em  A

Tell me what's making you sadly?

Em        A           D           C

Open your door, don't hide in the dark,

       D           Em            D     G

You're lost in the dark, you can trust me.

                D             Em   A

'Cause you know that's how it must be.

Em      A   C   D       Em

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa.

 

Her eyes like windows trickling rain,

Upon her pain getting deeper.

Tho' my love wants to relieve her.

She walks alone from wall to wall,

Lost in a hall, she can't hear me,

Tho' 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 I will free her,

Tho' I know no one can see her.

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa.
