Why Are You Looking Grave - MEW

Why are you looking grave?

Are you thinking of something to say?

Why are you sitting there?

Are you hoping that someone will stare?

Your mouth is hiding

You've got smiling eyes

Why are you looking grave?

Are you thinking of something to say?

Be I thinking of you?

Your mouth is hiding

You've got smiling eyes

Softly dividing

What they see in your face

From what you feel like inside

Who are all those who greet me?

Does it matter if I know?

Your mouth is hiding

You've got joyless eyes

Softly contriving

All the terrible things

That shook up our hearts enough
