Lyrics

CRY BABY CRY

Cry baby cry, cry baby cry
Cry baby cry, cry baby cry
Just let the teardrops fall
Feel the sting of their healing salt
Oh-oh-oh, cry, cry baby cry

Just feel your tears dripping down on the stones
Just feel the pain ooze all through your bones
That’s all that you can do
Let it flow through you
Oh, cry, cry baby cry

You’ve been through a lifetime of abuse
First it was your family, now it’s you
And the circle goes around
To the loves that you have found
Oh, cry, cry baby cry

Cry baby cry, cry baby cry oooooh
Just let the teardrops fall
Feel the sting of their healing salt
Oh, cry, cry baby cry

Oh, it’s a long long long suffering world
Sometimes it’s hardly worth living if the truth be told
But when you dry your eyes
You’ll see that sun still in the sky
Oh, cry, cry baby cry

Cry baby cry, cry baby cry oooooh
Just let the teardrops fall
Feel the sting of their healing salt
Oh, cry, cry baby cry,
Cry, cry baby cry,
Cry, cry baby cry

Karmic circles of abuse and sorrow are released in the jag of a cry, soothed by the healing salt of tears. Funny, had I known of the Beatles Song by the same title and using the same three-word refrain, I probably would never have written this. As it was, I took it in quite different directions. - BC
