Misery found a way into me
Put me under her spell
Ringed me out like a bell
Said, 'Company
Pay your attention to me
Those wounds, they will heal
Right now you don't have to feel'
She said, 'Gentle, gentle, dear
Baby, don't you fear
You know life is but a dream
So flow gently down that stream'
Said my misery
Misery took the life outta me
Had me under her thumb
Left me there feeling numb
Said, 'Company, pay your attention to me'
She said, 'Those wounds, they will heal
Right now you don't have to feel'
She said, 'Gentle, gentle, dear
Baby, don't you fear
You know life is but a dream
So flow gently down that stream'
Said my misery
Put me under her spell
Ringed me out like a bell
Put me under her spell
Ringed me out like a bell
She said, 'Gentle, gentle, dear
Baby, don't you fear
You know life is but a dream
So flow gently down that stream'
Said my misery
