Lucinda Williams - Pyramid of Tears lyrics

Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry Her dress don't hide her age Not like mama said it would And her smile fades away Just like daddy said it could No, things don't come so easy Not when you turn twenty five And to blow out the candles Takes a pill of concentration I can't look inside her eyes I can't kiss her perfect lips I can't whisper in her ears And take her far away from this Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry I can't hold her tight enough Not to steal away the pain I can't look into her eyes And tell her everything's OK No, she's not tired, she's just older And she's lost the will to fly I can't whisper in her ears And tell her everything's alright Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry I see you cry I see you cry I see you cry
