Sadness by Ann Wood

Sorrow has hung over me, and is weighing me down with its burden.
Sadness has been my constant companion in my life lately.
Sadness is knocking on my door again and wants to come in.
Go away sadness, please go away, I want to be happy again.

This reminds me of a song by Jesse Winchester. I wish you weren't sad.

One of these days I'm gonna take a vacation
By a quiet and a peaceful shore
And I'll cool my feet in those crystal waters
And I won't have to work anymore

'Cause my burden has got so heavy
Till I can't stand up alone
I must lay my head down on one strong shoulder
'Cause I can't stand up alone

And trouble, I have seen trouble
All around my door
Go away and leave me old man trouble
'Cause I don't want your trouble no more

And a voice came down just like thunder
And light all around me shown
The voice said : 'Jesse, get up'
'And grab hold of my hand 'cause you can't stand up all alone'

Ah, you can't stand up all by yourself
You can't stand up alone
You need the touch of a mighty hand
You can't stand up alone
