Downtown
el-R Lyrics

I saw her mother this morning
Encountered the mother of Sarah earlier today

At the downtown cafe
In the local coffee shop in the city center

Staring blankly Down in mourning
Deeply lost in grief, staring downwards

Had her cup of gourmet coffee
Consuming a high-quality, luxurious cup of coffee

And she asked me What her baby'd been missing
Inquired about what her child has been lacking or longing for

And I shake my head
Nodded negatively in response

Can't think of nothing
Unable to recall anything significant

But candy wrappers
Except the remnants of sweet wrappers

Tucked into the folds of the bed
Hidden within the creases of the bedsheet

And how I don't see them around
And how those wrappers are no longer visible or present

Since Sarah left town
Since Sarah departed this place

Now people always think they know you
People often believe they understand who you are

And they're almost always wrong
Yet they are usually mistaken

Tried to bend you till they broke you
Attempted to manipulate you until you fractured

So she moved along
As a result, she decided to continue her journey

And sometimes I see them around
Occasionally, I come across those individuals

Since Sarah left town
Since Sarah departed this place

Trying to track her down
Attempting to locate her whereabouts

Sarah, Sarah
Calling out her name twice, emphasizing it

She's chasing her soul
She's in pursuit of her inner self

Not running away
She's not escaping or avoiding

If you'd just let her go
If only you allowed her to be free

She'll know the way
She will find her own path

And I saw her mother this morning
Witnessed the mother of Sarah earlier today

She looked me in the eye
She made direct eye contact with me

She said: 'Dyou know sometimes,
She said: 'Do you know, sometimes,

I think I hear her laughing
I believe I hear her laughter

And all I can do is cry'
And all I am capable of is weeping

And it's a funny thing about people
And there's something peculiar about humans

How everyone has a song
How each person possesses their own melody

And he sings it every moment
And they perform it continuously

But we don't hear it until he's gone
However, we fail to perceive it until they have departed

And sometimes I see them around
Occasionally, I come across those individuals

Since Sarah left town
Since Sarah departed this place

They're humming with heads hanging down
They are lingering with a melancholic demeanor

Sarah, Sarah
Calling out her name twice, emphasizing it

Sarah, Sarah
Calling out her name twice, emphasizing it
