Grant-Lee Phillips - Cry Cry lyrics

[Chorus] In the winter when the streams are frozen In the winter when the birds don't sing That's when I lost my home When I lost everything [Verse 1] Kept a' walkin' ‘till my feet were bloody Left everything we knew When they took us ‘cross the Mississippi Nothin' that I could do but Cry, Cry Cry Keep a' pushin' on into the ocean Dancin' like a man in chains ‘Till you wind up where the sod is hard Here where you lose you name Same people said that I was Godless Same people showed how to pray Same people with a pen or rifle Same people took it all away Cry, Cry Cry One more mile One more night One thousand lies won't make it right Cry, cry One more mile One more night One thousand lies won't make it right [Chorus] In the winter when the streams are frozen In the winter when the birds don't sing That's when I lost my home When I lost everything Cry, Cry Cry
