And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry I met her accidentally in Saint Paul

Got up this mornin', just about the break of day Got up this mornin', feelin' round for my shoes You know, I cried last night and all the night before You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do I got a letter this mornin',

And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years! Your day breaks, your mind aches You find that all the words of kindness linger on When she no longer needs you She wakes up, she

When raindrops fell down from the sky The day you left me, an angel cried Oh, she cried, an angel cried

(drown in my own tears) If you don't think you'll be home soon I guess I'll drown in my own tears It brings a tear into my eyes When I begin to realize I've cried so much Since you've been gone I guess I'm drowning in my own tears I sit and cry just like

Unbreak my heart Say you'll love me again Undo this hurt you caused When you walked out the door And walked out of my life Don't leave me in all this pain Don't leave me out in the rain Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights

We'll get higher and higher Oh that's what dreams are made of Straight up we'll climb Leave it all behind So baby dry your eyes, save all The tears you've cried World turns black and white Pictures in an empty room Your love starts fallin down

There's a place for the baby that died He was taken away And there's a time for the mother who cried 'Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long How could you hurt a child When will the icicle melt The icicle, icicle

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,
