In Sympathy

They're almost falling over you Why don't they call a truce? Whatever they are trying to do It's of little use They're drowning you in compliments Trying to furnish proof Although they speak with eloquence There is little truth You're bright, you're strong, you know the right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy I'm watching your serenity The way your soul transcends Their tedious obscenities Your patience never ends And as the night begins to fade You're heading for the door Followed by sad parade You're on your own once more You're bright, you're strong, you know the right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy You're bright, you're strong, you know the right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy
