Artist: Michelle Malone Album: Homegrown (1999) Title: Learn To Cry
Lyrics Learn To CryIf I’d never had a thirst for another’s well
If my throat had never dried and my strength had never failed
On a hot summer night with a full moon rise
I’d have never gone astray if it wasn’t for the sky
If it wasn’t for the train that came a-tickin’ down the track
The one that took you away — the one that ain’t coming back
If it wasn’t for the whistle singing soft and low
I could still hear you say that you never would go
If it wasn’t for the sky, oh, the sky
You would never have learned to fly
If it wasn’t for the sky, oh, my eyes
I would never have learned to cry
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
If it weren’t for the rain fallin’ down on me
If it weren’t for the leaves blowin’ all around me
If it weren’t for my sorrow, I wouldn’t be here today
And if it weren’t for the sky, I wouldn’t feel this way
If it weren’t for the sky, oh, the sky
You would never have learned to fly
If it weren’t for the sky, oh, my eyes
I would never have learned to cry
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
Don’t you let the sky fall down on me
Don’t you let the sky fall
You let the sky fall down on me |
