Working title: "Institution of Heartbreak"
Loud wailing, sighing and groaning
A cloud of utter despair
Repeated excuses about curses and ghosts
Looking for reasons to blame
It could have been the year, it should have been the year
But fate had to get in the way
The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west
The air fills with hope each spring and dies in the fall
It's an institution of heartbreak and undying loyalty
Only for those who understand what it means to bleed
Loud cheering, screaming and whistling
A ray of abundant hope
Repeated glimpses of potential success
Looking for reasons to believe
There's always next year, oh sweet next year
Nothing can get in the way
The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west
The air fills with hope each spring and dies in the fall
It's an institution of heartbreak and undying loyalty
Only for those who understand what it means to bleed
There's a lesson in humility that others seem to miss
Because they'd rather blame a goat, a cat, or a man
And those who enjoy watching them suffer a century of pain
Must remember the meek will inherit the earth
The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west
The air fills with hope each spring and dies in the fall
It's an institution of heartbreak and undying loyalty
Only for those who understand what it means to bleed
