Iris Dement - Pack Up Your Sorrows lyrics

No use crying, talking to a stranger,

naming the sorrow you've seen

Too many bad times, too many sad times

Nobody knows what you mean

Chorus:

But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows

and give them all to me

You would lose them, I know how to use them

Give them all to me

No use rambling, walking in the shadows,

trailing a wandering star

No one beside you, no one to hide you

and nobody knows what you are

(Chorus)

No use gambling, running in the darkness,

Looking for a spirit that's free

Too many wrong times, too many long times

Nobody knows what you see

(Chorus)

No use roaming, going by the roadside,

Seeking a satisfied mind

Too many highways, too many byways,

and nobody's walking behind

(Chorus)
