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.
