Cry, Cry, Cry (Me a River)

Cry, Cry, Cry (Me a River) - Susan Firing

There's a woman on the corner

She is carrying the weight

Of a child a man has left her

'cause his love just couldn't wait

There's a tree on ninety-first street

leaves like tears that streak her cheek

Falling lightly on the door stoop

Love is gone and talk is cheap

[Chorus]
Cry, Cry, Cry me a river,
Cry, Cry, Cry me a stream
Cry, Cry, Cry me a shower
To wash me from this dirty dream.

The man in black said keep the baby
From the grips that Hell employs
So she did what the good book told her
let them talk away her choice

She thought the child would make her happy
Dress it up just like a doll
But all it does is cry like she does
All she turns to is the wall

[Repeat Chorus]

So she saunters toward the mirror
Brings her face up to the glass
Eyes like buoys in salt water
Will this aching ever pass?

She says "God I've got to leave the city
Where my fresh milk has gone sour
But I'm trapped Ain't it a pity
Pulled all the petals off my flower."
