Can'T Delete This Cry Me a River
Cry Me a River
(To) wash away the blood and sweat
I've sheaden for thee
Baby Cry me a river as long as the Niel
Hope you throw me a raft
so that I may rest for a while
Kuz I've been bluer then any known sea
And felt lower than the oceans is deep
Shead such blood life felt it owed me
And gotten so dark death thought he owned me
So cry me a river
To wash the dirt from my feet
from starting these roads
Baby Cry me a river as long as the Niel
Hope you throw me a raft
So that I may rest for a while
So you say I've failed thee
I didn't catch every tear
Say I didn't take risks
Say I lived life in Fear
But Truth fears not, when faced with dispair
So your young false words does fall on deaf ears.
You cry me a river
And clear my mind off the past
That still haunt my nights
Baby Cry me a river as long as the Niel
Hope you throw me a raft
So that I may rest for a while
I do it for you
And I'll do it again
I'll do it forever
Says the parents to child.
