But the Crying

from inversions by Dale Harris

lyrics

It’s one AM and wide awake
The night is wearing thin
Like the tattered sleeve of a homeless coat

You can play the game of give and take
But you can’t bluff anymore
When your hope is barely keeping you afloat

It’s all over but the crying isn’t over
It’s all over but the crying isn’t done
It’s all over but the crying isn’t over
It’s all over but there’s crying left to come

Now it’s four AM and the world’s asleep
You’re the only one awake
And your heart is pacing in its cage

But if love’s as wide as it is deep
Then you’d better pace yourself
Cause tonight might last forever and an age

It’s all over but the crying isn’t over
It’s all over but the crying isn’t done
It’s all over but the crying isn’t over
It’s all over but there’s crying left to come
And I will cry holy
Shout my broken hallelujahs
I will cry holy
Giving my heart cry to ya

It’s six AM and dawn is near
You’re vigil’s almost done
And the light is standing in the wings

The red-eye flight’s still in the air
But the plane is landing soon
You can hear the day as it begins to sing

It’s all over but the crying isn’t over
It’s all over but the crying isn’t done
It’s all over but the crying isn’t over
It’s all over but there’s crying left to come
And I will cry holy
Shout my broken hallelujahs
I will cry holy
Giving my heart cry to ya
