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 what you gonna do when the planets shift
What you 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
But he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now what you gonna do with the bruise and the blush
What you 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
(chorus)
Throwing up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love, well what's it for
The heart won't remember the burning fire
The next time you feel the flame of desire
(repeat chorus twice)
Cry love, cry love, cry love
