Mark Seymour - You Don't Have to Cry Anymore lyrics

Running down the years, lost in the shadows No one ever promised you the earth before Safe in outer space for so long you lingered Staring at the line that you drew on the floor Come on don't you fade away Living on some dream that was yesterday Honey don't you know You don't have to cry anymore Even if the wolves are howling at the moon Outside your door Every minute counts on the straight and narrow You can see it all with your blinkers on Shooting at the stars with your poisoned arrow Safely out of reach of where the stars belong Come on don't you fade away Living on some dream that was yesterday Honey don't you know You don't have to cry anymore Even if the wolves are howling at the moon Outside your door Oh no you've been waiting so long for the time For good fortune to come your way There's no second chance when you're old There's nothing left to say At the centre of the bone is the burning marrow The blood that's in your veins keep flowing on Longer than it takes for you to arrive Where only empty hearts can truly survive You don't have to go down that way Learning how to live when you're old and grey Come on don't you know You don't have to cry anymore Even if the wolves are howling at the moon Outside your door There's never been an even change Like this one before Honey don't you know You don't have to cry anymore
