John Dowland - Sorrow, Stay Lyrics

Lyrics Sorrow, Stay - John Dowland



Sorrow, sorrow stay
Lend true repentant tears
To a woeful, woeful wretched wight
Hence, hence despair with thy tormenting fears
Do not, oh, do not my heart, poor heart affright
Pitty, pitty, pitty
Pitty, pitty, pitty
Help now or never
Mark me not to endless pain
Mark me not to endless pain
Alas, I am condemned
Alas, I am condemned, I am condemned ever
No hope, no help, their doth remain
But down, down, down, down, I fall
But down, down, down, down, I fall
Down and arise
Down and arise, I never shall
But down, down, down, down, I fall
But down, down, down, down, I fall
Down and arise
Down and arise I never shall
