Learn to Cry
(written by Michelle Malone ©1993, Cold Cocked Music/Sony ATV Songs/BMI)
If IÂ’d never had a thirst for anotherÂ’s well. If my throat had never dried and my strength had never failed. On a hot summer night with a full moon rise. IÂ’d have never gone astray if it wasnÂ’t for the sky
If it wasn’t for the train that came a-tickin’ down the track. The one that took you away — the one that ain’t coming back. If it wasn’t for the whistle singing soft and low, I could still hear you say that you never would go
If it wasnÂ’t for the sky, oh, the sky. You would never have learned to fly. If it wasnÂ’t for the sky, oh, my eyes. I would never have learned to cry
DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me. DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me. DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me. DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me
If it werenÂ’t for the rain fallinÂ’ down on me. If it werenÂ’t for the leaves blowinÂ’ all around me. If it werenÂ’t for my sorrow, I wouldnÂ’t be here today. And if it werenÂ’t for the sky, I wouldnÂ’t feel this way
If it werenÂ’t for the sky, oh, the sky. You would never have learned to fly. If it werenÂ’t for the sky, oh, my eyes. I would never have learned to cry
DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me. DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me. DonÂ’t you let the sky fall down on me. DonÂ’t you let the sky fall. You let the sky fall down on me
