heard a laughing child in the valley wild
singing words under rainy weather
so i wrote them down for you who've yet to be born
all the diamond rings, all the easy things
won't be with you to last forever
may your inner ghost love and prune you with scorn
for the one who cries
is the one who says there's more than we can say
though it's dark and cold
i believe i'd like to live another day
for the one who cries
devil's talking now says remember how
i turned pain into all your pleasure
may you never look directly into my lies
but the night then ran and the day began
and you wake to the face of your lover
and you disappear into the sea of her eyes
for the one who cries
is the one who says there's more than we can say
though it's dark and cold
i believe i'd like to live another day
for the one who cries
