Cry, Cry Songtext

von Oysterband

She turned her back on the sleeping town
As night turned into day
Flash flood hit the road
Swept her past away
Turned her face into the wind
Covered up her eyes
Tears came just like rain
Breaking all her ties

Cry, cry, but you don't look back
You had to leave some time
Cry, cry, don't look back

One day she meets someone
A woman out of line
She says, "Stop a while
Be a friend of mine"
Things you wanted to explain
She will not let you try
Wind blow, came or go, but
Never tell me why

Too much pressure, too much fight to fight
Too many brothers standing in your light
Too many uncles
Calling late at night

Hearts that stand upon the brink
Longing to be free
You can choose your life
Choose your family
You can choose your kind of love
Let them criticise
Tears came just like rain
Don't let 'em blind your eyes
