[ with Emmylou Harris ]

I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Oh they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old
Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
That it won't be long before it's crying time

Oh you say that you found someone you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Crying time will start when you walk out the door
Oh it's crying time again
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'
That it won't be long before it's crying time
