[Verse 1]
I wore a painted smile today
I mixed my tears with wine
I saw a young girl walk away
Into the lonely, a child of only
Sunshine and roses, love story closes

[Chorus]
Who but unloved would write a sad song?
Who but unloved could understand?
Who but the Old Man up in the rain clouds
Who put the unloved to walk the land

[Bridge]
Standin' in the night by the harbor lights, and I called your name
Starin' into space and the image of your face returns again

[Verse 2]
I saw an old man cry today
And no one asked him why
I lost a song I tried to play
The wheel keeps turnin' the pain of learnin'
The eyes of sorrow have no tomorrow

[Chorus]
Who but unloved would write a sad song?
Who but unloved could understand?
Who but the Old Man up in the rain clouds
Who put the unloved to walk the land
[Chorus]
Who but unloved would write a sad song?
Who but unloved could understand?
Who but the Old Man up in the rain clouds
Who put the unloved to walk the land

[Outro]
(Who but unloved?)
(Who but unloved?)
(Who but Old Man)
(Who put the unloved)
