Prisoner's Tears

(Album: Mountain Soul II - 2009)

A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell
He knows the price of living in hell
Nobody sees, nobody hears
But nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears

I've never been locked behind walls of stone
But I've been a prisoner deep down in my bones
No judge and no jury but the sentence is clear
And nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears

Counting the days, wondering when
This prisoner's heart will finally mend

Counting the days, wondering when
This prisoner's heart will finally mend

They say I'm free now but they can't feel my pain
They don't see my shackles but I'm living in chains
Love made the walls, love keeps me here
Well, nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears
Nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears
A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell
