Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa Lyrics

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sadly?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me
'Cause you know that's how it must be

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

Her eyes like windows, tricklin' rain
Upon her pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone from wall to wall
Lost in a hall, she can't hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

She sits in a corner by the door
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know, no one can see her

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

  This song can go two ways yet, it is about a person struggling with life and self. First scenerio, Lisa is a person who is lost in her mental state and cannot find a way out, she is stuck in her head. Could be from drugs or her mental state, and he is trying to help her, just by being by her side and letting her know he is there. The other is a mental state of mind that could be his, maybe his alter ego he refers to as 'lisa' and he would be the only one to show her/hisself the way out of it and free from the pain, trickling down.
