Crying Tree
View ArtistLyrics
Up with the dawn, first out the door He doesn't sleep well at all anymore Lying all night with his eyes wide open Trying to see what the day's holding Bang on a barking, my little gurnze Clouds are milk-white, the floor's brown dirty Up the back way to a line This doesn't get any easier He used to dance 'till the sun came up There is a field where he used to love her Flowers in rows and he grew three daughters Here is a bail of the finest clover Raises up to wipe his brow Forty years thrown across his shoulder All of his life in a single moment Maybe his hardest, too weak to hold him He did not know that his dance was done So many reasons to carry on Mama left the girls that night And walked up the hill in the moonlight Come, come tears are free Love is over underneath the crying tree All that I said made him feel blue All that I did and all I will do Here is a hand make a deal with God Here is a tear silent This room is too damn full Hand of laughness tries to hold Up the hill under the tree fell the trees this summer I did not know that our dance was done So many reasons to carry on Mama left the girls that night And walked up the hill in the moonlight Come, come tears are free Love is over underneath the crying tree The old grey farmhouse is up there still Just over the hill You never know when your dance is done So many reasons to carry on Mama left the girls that night And walked up the hill in the moonlight Come, come tears are free Love is over underneath the crying tree
