I've Cried Enough For You

I've never seen the sky so blue

The grass so green, the day so new

I can't believe it but it must be true

I've cried enough for you.

 

I've been so long in empty rooms

A bed, a window and the moon

My discipline has seen me through

I've cried enough for you

 

I'm coming down the mountainside

The path is steep, my heart is wide

It's dark and haunted in these pines

I've worn these old clothes through

 

My case is packed, I'm leaving soon

The feelings fresh but hardly new

I've tipped my hat and paid my dues

I've cried enough for you.

 

I've made the change, I'm coming through

New job, new town, new suit and shoes

I'll hit the street and join the queue

I've cried enough for you.
