Lyrics of Tragedy by Bee Gees
verse
Here I lie, in a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time, in a world of tears I slowly drown
Goin′ home, I just can't make it all alone
pre-chorus
I really should be holding you, holding you
Loving you, loving you
chorus
Tragedy
When the feeling′s gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don′t know why
It′s hard to bear
With no-one to love you, you're goin′ nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don′t know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you, you′re goin' nowhere
verse
Night and day, there's a burning down inside of me
Oh, oh
Burning love, with a yearning that won′t let me be
Down I go and I just can′t take it all alone
pre-chorus
I really should be holding you, holding you
Loving you, loving you
chorus
Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can′t go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don′t know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you, you′re goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don′t know why
It′s hard to bear
With no-one beside you, you're goin′ nowhere
Aaah
Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can′t go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don′t know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you, you're goin′ nowhere
Ah, ah
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It′s tragedy
When the morning cries and your heart just dies
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you, you′re goin' nowhere
Ahh!
Tragedy
When the feeling′s gone and you can't go on
It′s tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one to love you you′re goin′ nowhere
Ahh
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and your heart just dies
It′s hard to bear
With no-one beside you, you're goin′ nowhere
Ahh!
outro
Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can′t go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It′s hard to bear
With no-one to love you, you′re goin' nowhere
