(Verse 1)I've walked through love's door,But happiness I refuse,I've searched high and low,For a love that's true,But all I've found is heartache,I reckon I'm bound to the sorrow,Bound to the sorrow. (Chorus)Bound to the sorrow,No ring upon my hand,Just the echo of a love song,In a land of shifting sand,Bound to the sorrow,No warmth in the night,Just the cold, cold comfort,Of a love that's out of sight. (Verse 2)There's a memory in my mirror,A face that's left no trace,A love that once was here,Now it's just an empty space,He promised his forever,But took off without a trace,Without a trace. (Chorus)Bound to the sorrow,It's a marriage of the blues,All I've got are these teardrops,And a song of lonesome hues,Bound to the sorrow,No more sweet summer nights,Just the chill of the lonely,And the dimming of the lights. (Bridge)I carry a letter in my coat,Its edges worn and frayed,The only thing he gave to me,Before he faded away,Oh, when you're bound to sorrow,The days just drift away,You're bound to the sorrow,And these blues won't fade. (Outro)I knew he wouldn't stay,Yet here I stand,With the blues as my companion,In this lonesome land,Bound to the sorrow,Oh, these ever-present blues,I'm bound, I'm bound,To the sorrow of the blues. [Outro] [End]
