The Psychedelic Ensemble — Despair lyrics

Lyrics

Hello, my faithful friend,
You’re back again
Hello, my dreary friend,
You’re here again
Every day I wonder
Will you show yourself again
Never really knowing
Why or if or where or when
Suddenly you’ll turn up On my doorstep once again
Giving me no warning
That my joy has come to end
You’re at my door again
No help to lend
You knock again and again
Is there no end?
Sorry not to welcome
You with open arms, my friend,
Seems like you just left me My heart had no time to mend
I was almost happy
Thinking you had come to end
Now your darkness fills me As you settle in again
I hate you, faithful friend,
You have no end
I loathe you, dreary friend,
You’ll bring my end
Once again you turn up In an unexpected way
Like an unforeseen twist
In a dark and tragic play
Yesterday I smiled
Thinking you had gone away
Now your sadness fills me And I see you’re here to stay
