From the Album: Stompin' Ground (SBS Records) Cry Me A River Michelle Malone (STRANGE BIRD SONGS/ASCAP) D Monday I felt like an astronaut walking on the moon for the very first time Em A D I was feeling fine, I was ready to fly Tuesday I felt like I was racing time in the ecochallenge, felt like I was dying On a mountain side, I wanted to cry Em A D Well, I cry me a river then I poke holes in my boat I try to deliver then I put sharks in my mote Bm Go to cross the Sahara I poured out my water G A D I’m lighting these fires and living on the wire Wednesday I felt like a little kid lost inside the mall, I needed you to tell me
Everything’s ok, I want you to stay Thursday I felt like an animal locked inside a cage about to suffocate All that I could do was run away Well, I cry me a river then I poke holes in my boat I try to deliver then I put sharks in my mote Go to cross the Sahara I pour out my water I’m lighting these fires and living on the wire Em A I don’t know why, I don’t know why Bm G I don’t know why I sabotage myself A Leave me hanging out on the line G A D Making happiness hard to find One day I’ll tire of wasting time Lying on my back watching clouds roll by I’ll be ready to fly I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why
