Downtown
S.C.R.D. Lyrics

I saw her mother this morning
Today, I encountered the mother of Sarah

At the downtown cafe
We were both at the urban coffee shop

Staring blankly Down in mourning
She was looking aimlessly with sadness

Had her cup of gourmet coffee
She had a fancy hot beverage

And she asked me What her baby'd been missing
She inquired about what her child lacked in life

And I shake my head
I replied no

Can't think of nothing
I cannot recall anything

But candy wrappers
All that comes to mind are the treat coverings

Tucked into the folds of the bed
Where they're stored beneath the linens

And how I don't see them around
It's been a while since I last spotted them

Since Sarah left town
Ever since Sarah moved away

Now people always think they know you
Folks tend to believe they understand you

And they're almost always wrong
However, they're often mistaken

Tried to bend you till they broke you
They attempt to manipulate you until you shatter

So she moved along
Sarah endeavored elsewhere

And sometimes I see them around
Every now and then, I spot them

Since Sarah left town
After the departure of Sarah

Trying to track her down
Attempting to locate her

Sarah, Sarah
Repetition of her name

She's chasing her soul
Sarah pursues her inner self

Not running away
She isn't escaping a circumstance

If you'd just let her go
If one permits her to follow her path

She'll know the way
She'll discover her direction

And I saw her mother this morning
Once more, I encountered Sarah's mother

She looked me in the eye
She peered into my eyes

She said: "Dyou know sometimes,
She uttered to me:

I think I hear her laughing
I believe I hear her chuckling

And all I can do is cry"
But all I can do is weep

And it's a funny thing about people
It's peculiar about individuals

How everyone has a song
How everyone possesses a melody

And he sings it every moment
And continuously sings it

But we don't hear it until he's gone
Despite this, we don't listen until one vanishes

And sometimes I see them around
Occasionally, I spot them

Since Sarah left town
After Sarah departed

They're humming with heads hanging down
They're singing quietly, looking sad

Sarah, Sarah
Reiteration of her name
