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
I really should be holding you
Holding you, loving you, loving you
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
Night and day
There's a burning down inside of me (uuh)
Burning love
With a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you, loving you, loving you
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
Uuuuhh

Tragedy - Bee Gees
Released in 1973, "Tragedy" stands as a defining track in the Bee Gees' transition from pop to soulful R&B. Featuring the brothers' signature high-pitched harmonies and a driving, funky bassline, the song exemplifies the group's mastery of the disco era while maintaining a distinct soulful edge. The recording showcases their ability to blend vocal textures with a rhythmic groove that became a hallmark of their mid-1970s output. As a staple of their discography, "Tragedy" remains a powerful representation of the Barrie, Robin, and Maurice Gibb's collaborative vocal style and their influence on the evolution of late 1960s and early 1970s popular music.
