Don't You Cry For Me

Hope got my hands tied around my back

And time put a rope around my head

And hung from the rafters of my fear

Dark in the eyes

Try and face the world, I can’t bear to

My knees hit the ground and my hands start shaking

Old feelings from new faces

A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging

Please help me chop this tree down

Hold me from underneath

Words never once cut me down

Oh, don't you cry for me

I've seen an ocean run away

I'm torn from the truth that holds my soul

I'm down in the grave where I belong

Oh, what a ride

Identified my devil

Wings to the sky on the run from trouble

With my own hands, no shovel

I dug through the ground, now I’m hanging above saying

Please help me chop this tree down

Hold me from underneath

Words never once cut me down

Oh, don't you cry for me

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved

(When the sun went down)

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved

(It set the sky on fire)

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved

(I saw an angel fly)

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved

(I never felt so high)

Down by the grave that the law man laid

When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved

Please help me chop this tree down

Hold me from underneath

Words never once cut me down

Oh, don't you cry for me

Oh, don't you cry for me

Oh, don't you cry for me
