Cry
I walk around the edge of paradise
I stalk you with my universe eyes
Let’s walk in unison in Sorrow Town
But, nothing’s going to weigh us down
Let go of me, for I can survive on my own
Obviously, you’re too self-absorbed and prefer to be left alone
It’s about time I tell you something secret
I don’t want to be the one, falling in love with regret
Sorrow Town is where we’re going
Our eyes are simply overflowing
I don’t know why I cry
I don’t know why I cry
I don’t know why I cry
Listen to the echoes of my plea
Save me for your mercy’s sake and set me free
Because I’ve been disturbed by the anxieties of life
Because I’ve been bombarded by the bewildering strife
It cuts me open like a jagged knife…
All my life…
All my life…
All my life…
Far away, I roam
Might as well head home
Go ahead and cry me a lake
At least our lives aren’t at stake…
Yet
Our ends haven’t met
Don’t encamp against me now
We’ll be lost in liberty somehow
Corrupted by the jaded lies of midnight
Eager to be enthralled by your marvelous might
You’re as gentle as a dove
Yet, mysterious as a radiant raven
You’re what I always dream of
Yet, I’m bound to be in your haven
I collapse in the brink of Spring
Bring me salvation in this time of need
I wish you and I can vibrantly sing
You’re my everyday whim, so take heed
Of my echoing pleas…
Please…
And I don’t know why I cry
I don’t know why I sigh
I don’t know why I want to die
In your arms tonight…
In your arms, so out of sight
I don’t know why I keep fighting the urge to cry…
Please don’t cry too…
I will find your other shoe
My feet are above the ground
Was lost, but now I’m found
Yesterday’s gone
But, I’m moving on
Yesterday’s over
Yes, I’m a lonely lover
In the outskirts of your mind
In the meadows in which you find
You’ve grown fond of me I can tell
You’re so kind to me, even when I hide in my shell
You say, “Come out…come out, my friend…”
Our unique friendship is around the riverbend
I say, mesmerized and in a daze, “Okay…I shall come out for you…”
Tomorrow is near,
So, lift up your head and cheer up, sad soul
Happiness will appear
Don’t you know our love is treasure so beautiful?
Lay your worries to bed
I know your feet feel like lead
There’s a lot going on inside your head
Let me feed you a slice of beloved bread
I cry for your safety’s sake
I lie awake in bed, thinking of you non-stop
I tell myself it’s too much to take
My heart is pounding vigorously as if it’s going to pop
Broken down, but not altogether gone
I just keep on pressing on and on
Cast your fears and worries to the Lord
Sustain me completely with His accord
I will conquer you with satisfaction
All you must do is take sheer action
Never give up this time, my vibe so sublime
You’re looking like a messed-up criminal who committed a crime
I dwell in the tents of wretched hardship’s hold
Let’s read words of wisdom, once untold
Deliver me from my wicked nature at ease
Do me a quick favor and give me a reason to believe in you please
My heart, my soul, my mind
Is but a brokenhearted stranger
My body, my strength, my kind
Is but an animal in danger
Death and life collide and are no longer here
You’re the only one I hold on to oh so dear
I cry, yeah, I cry like a man should do in times like these that are so unkind
I cry, yeah, I cry and I try my best to keep you out of my disseminated mind
But, you tell me in a whisper
Not to cry and whimper
I’m sorry, but I have to do so
I have to release these tears of woe
So, I wave farewell and cry…
Funny, I don’t know why
