My Misery Is a Fairy Tale

from Photographs of 1971 by Don DiLego

/

lyrics

My misery
Is waiting for company
Is waiting for somebody to take me away

From the city streets
All littered with vacancies
Take in my broken dreams
And sweep them away

Somehow you still
Somehow you still remain
Knowing that you will wait
Puts a smile on my aching face

You’ll be better off taking your time
Nobody knows you like I
Now that you’re waiting for something new

This old heart of mine
Keeps breaking all the time
Keeps making senseless lies
That sweep me away

See this fairytale
Keeps making me aware
That I
Want to be true ‘til the end

And somehow you still
Somehow you still remain
Knowing that you will wait
Puts a smile on my aching face
Adds a year to my aging grace
