Lyrics for Crying

CRY... DON'T YOU I got off a train about midday into a yellow taxi cab The station was deserted, the taxi driver said 'Where you want to go the Bar, Hotel, looking for a place to go?' I saw no-one who knew me, nor no-one did I know I went down the mall, to Mary below, to Blackbull shop The man said 'My dear, she died last year' and I said I will not stop The sky it was all bleeding, the rain cloud crashing down But what I saw that moment could never be undone We saw people drawn out, nobody you will steal Statesman sitting there at the table, unharmed by fire or fear Oh, said his name so boldly, the others followed on What I had seen that morning could never be undone Everything was gone, gone, everything was gone Everything was gone, gone, everything was gone A boy playing with a gun there, colder than the air A bill to give him, gave him, felt he was not there The skins they were all boiling, and the heap rose 10 miles high I saw a priest praying for me, shockwave in the sky, sky, sky Shockwave in the sky
