Patty Loveless - Prisoner's Tears lyrics

A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell He knows the price of livin' in hell Nobody sees, nobody hears But nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears I've never been locked behind walls of stone But I've been a prisoner deep down in my bones No judge and no jury but the sentence is clear And nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears Counting the days, wonderin' when This prisoner's heart will finally mend Counting the days, wonderin' when This prisoner's heart will finally mend They say I'm free now but they can't feel my pain They don't see my shackles but I'm livin' in chains Love made the walls, love keeps me here Well, nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears Nothin' falls as hard as a prisoner's tears A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell
