Oh, Dolores, they’re here again Run the water, shut out the day Everyone’s fighting a battle you know nothing about Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain, swallow the pain
Your mother came out to New York to get you Saying, “Come back to your old little room You look tired of trying to hold it together And it was all too much, too soon”
Oh, Dolores, they’re here again Run the water, shut out the day Everyone’s fighting a battle you know nothing about Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain, swallow the pain
You were found in your favourite pyjamas Up there on the fourteenth floor And nobody saw it coming But you did all those years before
Oh, Dolores, they’re here again Run the water, shut out the day Everyone’s fighting a battle you know nothing about Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain, swallow the pain Oh, Dolores, they’re singing your name You tried to warn us but now it’s too late Everyone’s fighting a battle you know nothing about Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain Oh, Dolores
