I Cried Today

(album: Save The World - 1976)

"Let me introduce you to our hero
A foolish man
A man who made the mistake of taking everything he had for granted
And ended up with nothing
Sing a song dummy!"

So this is it, she's gone for sure
And now I understand what these sad songs before
She broke my soul hey what is this
I never thought I'd hear these words from my lips

Oh
I cried today
I shied away
I flied away
From the crowd
From the crowd

So she's gone and I'm alone
And I'm still trying to work out what I've done wrong
She bat my mind but she leaves no scar
I never thought I'd hear these words from my lips

Oh
I cried today (Baby, baby)
I shied away (Oh yes)
I flied away
From the crowd
From the crowd

I had to go
Because she said so
And now I'm all alone
I'm feeling low
Nowhere to go
She got me on the run

"Now look at our hero
A sad, lonely man
A man who so far gone low he needs to look up at his feet
And tomorrow being a working day really got our hero in a terrible state
Now the morale of this story is
Don't take for granted what you got
Because one day it might mean a lot
Or even more
Sing your song dummy!"

I cried today (Yes I mean it)
I shied away (Baby, baby)
I flied away
From the crowd
Baby baby from the crowd

I cried today (Baby, baby)
I shied away
I flied away
I cried today
