Tearboats

Cry me a river

so I know you can feel

the heartache which splits me apart

in hopes you will come 

with a stick of glue

 

get me a violin 

and sing me a song

for I’d play

until my fingers fell off

just to hear you sing along

 

or come kiss me goodnight

bless me with your gentle touch

and look at me with those glittering stars 

so I may fall asleep 

and dream of your shining eyes 

 

Cry me a river

so I can float downstream to you

and wipe away your tears
