don't cry that way

years flew away

i saw her standing there

our last parking lot

'cause we didn't have a prayer

liquid roses trying to confess

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

little girl

i feel so helpless

the city far below

i let a river pour

our corner room of glass

we had a sad contest

beneath your skin you found two rivers more

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

little girl

i feel so helpless

do they know as they fight their way upstream?

have they a reason to know why?

here we go into the analyzer's dream

and when we get there

do we die?

hey

brother

count the ways that i am blessed

but i am cursed with your image as a child

silently like chiclets in the wild

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

little boy

i feel so helpless

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

don't cry that way

little boy

i feel so helpless
