Oysterband - Cry Cry lyrics

She turned her back on the sleeping town As night turned into day Flash flood hit the road Swept her past away Turned her face into the wind Covered up her eyes Tears came just like rain Breaking all her ties Cry, cry, but you don't look back You had to leave some time Cry, cry, don't look back One day she meets someone A woman out of line She says, "Stop a while Be a friend of mine" Things you wanted to explain She will not let you try Wind blow, came or go, but Never tell me why Too much pressure, too much fight to fight Too many brothers standing in your light Too many uncles Calling late at night Hearts that stand upon the brink Longing to be free You can choose your life Choose your family You can choose your kind of love Let them criticise Tears came just like rain Don't let 'em blind your eyes
