You Don't Have To Cry

(album: Dancing Backward In High Heels - 2011)

We've fallen into time
Left nature behind
It's all inside our mind
Paradise got left behind

Where we gonna go
Where we gonna stay
What we gonna do
How we gonna find a way to play

Astray in the universe
As we would doubtless be astray anywhere

We go from city to city
Where lights are pretty and
Beautiful people dance around everywhere

Writing poems that lash more fierce
Than the wind that's blowing the newspapers
Through the square, right here

Time is always just a thief
Disguise itself as grief
Until you've abandoned your belief

You, you don't have to yearn
Or wait for my return
Tears don't have to burn
Except in solitude

Astray in the universe
As we would doubtless be astray anywhere

You, you don't have to cry
You can dry your eyes
You don't have to cry
You can dry your eyes
You don't have to cry
You don't have to cry
Let me see you smile
