The Shepherd Cried

Lyrics

In a misty mountain meadow Just before the dawn He took a second count And found another one was gone As the sheep lay sleeping Secure and safe from harm He left to go out searching But dared not leave the flock too long The shepherd cried Love was not enough To keep him by his side And with all his heart he prayed That he would find His way back home someday The shepherd cried The shepherd cried He walked across the meadow Where the trees began Looking for some sign Of where the sheep had been Though it was one of many He loved each one the same And it broke his heart to think He may never come home again The shepherd cried Love was not enough To keep him by his side And with all his heart he prayed That he would find His way back home someday The shepherd cried He gives his life to them all And he prays that He will hears his call The shepherd cried Love was not enough To keep him by his side And with all his heart he prayed That he would find His way back home someday The shepherd cried The shepherd cried
