Tragedy Lyrics - Norah Jones

It's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

He was only twenty five 

had an open heart and tender mind 

he sang through all the hymns he knew 

he was searching for a higher sign 

when his water was turned to wine 

all the darkness became light

Babies and a patient wife 

they just wouldn't have to keep him high 

so he gave them up just to fill his cup 

every sip would make him feel alive 

no bones in his body were dry 

It's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

Now he's finally come around 

he's got wrinkles and a crooked friend 

he holds back tears thinking of the years 

that the bottle had a long time down 

so he'd sit, have another round 

singing hallelujah 'till it drowns

It's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy 

it's a tragedy
