Cry Love Lyrics

A moment of steel 
A dry-eyed house 
Did he say goodbye to you 
Or did you kick him out 
I know you're not afraid 
To go alone 
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and
bone 
  
Now whatcha gonna do 
When the planet shifts 
Whatcha gonna do 
Gonna slit your wrists 
Bleed all over the milky way 
The stars in your eyes look red today 
  
CHORUS: 
Cry love, Cry love 
The tears of an angel 
The tears of a dove 
Spilling all over, your heart from above 
Cry Love, Cry Love 
  
The trust of a woman in his hand 
But he was a little boy, not a man 
You loved him stronger than he could feel 
Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an
orange peel 
Now whatcha gonna do 
With the booze and the blush 
Whatcha gonna do 
When there's no rush 
Cop a little misery 
At the corner store 
Well' one day that train of pain won't stop
no more 
  
REPEAT CHORUS 
  
Throwning up ashes on the floor 
If this is a lesson in love 
Well what's it for? 
The heart will remember 
The burning fire 
The next time you feel the flame 
Of desire 
  
REPEAT CHORUS 
REPEAT CHORUS 
  
Cry love, cry love, cry love
