Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Now whatcha gonna do
When the planet shifts?
Whatcha gonna do?
Gonna slit your wrists
And bleed all over the Milky Way
The stars in your eyes look red today
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy and not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yet he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
Cry love
[Verse 7]
Throwing 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
[Verse 8]
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
[Verse 9]
Cry love, cry love
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
[Verse 10]
Cry love, cry love
Cry love
Cry love
Cry love
Cry love
