lyrics

I cry alone. I cry alone. When good friends die
When someone takes the last piece of momma's apple pie

When all the lemonade turns sour and the moon glows shuttle grey
When the ambulance blares threatening tones while night turns into day
When a call from a stranger says your daddy's passed away

I cry alone, I cry alone...
When lovers' quarrels break apart in little pieces through the cracks
When daughters slam the front door closed
and it barks I'm not coming back
When the telephone that seldom rings is not my lover's call
When the job I thought I'd bagged falls through and I'm up against a wall
I cry alone... I cry alone

When death brings life in subtle ways when mockingbirds start singing then peepers peep and willows weep and water falls start dreaming

When little blue boats on the water echo life of truth and promise
And the memory so old of love tendrils up through stony crevice
I cry alone... I cry alone

Thank you for listening. ... more
