Mistress Misery,
You remind me of many things
Of things such as an aching, thudding heart
Of lost marriage rings
Of rainfall
During a bleak, cloudy day
Pattering a tune of blues
With a black cat lurking, a homeless stray
Of slow-played violins
Strumming across many a sad note
Of pointless lives, causing crushing depression
To which many a person does devote
Of abandoned houses, of creaking floorboards
Of dust, cobwebs and failing light
Of storm thundering whilst the moon is up
A desolate, cold, wet and empty street in the midst of night.
Mistress Misery,
You remind me of darker times in life
It's just in your nature
To show the dark, to show the afterlife

Mistress Misery,
You remind me of many things
Of things such as an aching, thudding heart
Of lost marriage rings
Of rainfall
During a bleak, cloudy day
Pattering a tune of blues
With a black cat lurking, a homeless stray
Of slow-played violins
Strumming across many a sad note
Of pointless lives, causing crushing depression
To which many a person does devote
Of abandoned houses, of creaking floorboards
Of dust, cobwebs and failing light
Of storm thundering whilst the moon is up
A desolate, cold, wet and empty street in the midst of night.
Mistress Misery,
You remind me of darker times in life
It's just in your nature
To show the dark, to show the afterlife
