| [00:09.25] |
Don't cry my love don't cry no more |
| [00:18.36] |
A crashing sky a rolling screen |
| [00:27.78] |
A city drowning Gods black tears |
| [00:37.61] |
I cannot bear to see |
| [00:46.87] |
She lay under the midnight moon |
| [00:56.25] |
Her restless body stiring |
| [01:05.52] |
Until the magic morning hour |
| [01:15.18] |
Like poison it succumbs her |
| [01:25.00] |
Her baby skin her old black dress |
| [01:33.66] |
Her hair it twists round her necklace |
| [01:43.80] |
Constricts and chokes like ruthless vines |
| [01:52.73] |
To sleep she overtakes her? |
| [03:17.96] |
Her room is painted Heron Blue |
| [03:27.01] |
Lit by candlelight and chandelier |
| [03:36.22] |
And from her headboard perched so high |
| [03:46.40] |
A million dreams have passed her |
| [03:55.52] |
Don't cry my love don't cry no more |
| [04:04.96] |
It overwhelms my breaking heart |
| [04:14.38] |
A minor swell of violins |
| [04:24.16] |
I cannot bear to hear them |
| [04:33.32] |
A mother shepherds her young birds |
| [04:42.78] |
she fills their mouths and warms their souls |
| [04:52.30] |
Til they are strong and good to fly |
| [05:02.13] |
Away from her alone she'll die |
| [05:11.25] |
Cradle on quiet old oak limbs |
| [05:20.72] |
As heaven blue her light fails |
| [05:29.91] |
A breath of soot into her lungs |
| [05:39.32] |
A life, a journeys end in one |
| [06:06.81] |
Don't sing that old sad hymn no more |
| [06:16.87] |
It resonates inside my soul |
| [06:26.13] |
It haunts me in my waking dream |
| [06:35.57] |
I cannot bear to hear it |
| [06:44.63] |
Don't play those violins no more |
| [06:54.09] |
Their melancholic overtones |
| [07:02.76] |
They echo off the floor and walls |
| [07:12.64] |
I cannot bear to hear them |
