When the lightning strikes
And it wakes me
I hear the lover's cry
Coming from the sky
And it takes me
To where the culverts slide
And the gators crawl
They don't run from tears so strong
It's pouring down, burnin' up the ground
As they're fallin'
Daddy told me once
"You'd better listen, son
"Start believin'
"You might think you're tough
"But it ain't enough
"When she's leavin'
"Someday you're gonna cry
"Those tears so strong
"Gonna wash them tattoos off your arms
"Gonna break it down, it's a lonely sound
"As they're fallin'"
Tears so strong
What went wrong
What's done is done
I got a heavy one
As they're fallin'
Tears so strong
Can't hold on
Until the Kingdom comes
I'm countin' every one
As they're fallin'
I'll never see her again
Or breathe her fire
Only she could dry
These tears of mine
Well, I've gotta make sense
Of the time that's left
In a hurry
I'm going blind
'Cause I'm always cryin'
And it's blurry
Well, there's nothin' worse
Than these tears so strong
It'd rust a knife through a voodoo doll
It's pourin' down, burnin' up the ground
As they're fallin'
Tears so strong
What went wrong
What's done is done
I got a heavy one
As they're fallin'
Tears so strong
Can't hold on
Until the Kingdom comes
I'm countin' every one
As they're fallin'
I'll never see her again
Or breathe her fire
Only she could dry
These tears of mine
Well, some midnights When the lightning strikes And it wakes me I hear the lover's cry Coming from the sky And it takes me To where the culverts slide And the gators crawl They don't run from tears so strong It's pouring down, burnin' up the ground As they're fallin' Daddy told me once "You'd better listen, son "Start believin' "You might think you're tough "But it ain't enough "When she's leavin' "Someday you're gonna cry "Those tears so strong "Gonna wash them tattoos off your arms "Gonna break it down, it's a lonely sound "As they're fallin'" Tears so strong What went wrong What's done is done I got a heavy one As they're fallin' Tears so strong Can't hold on Until the Kingdom comes I'm countin' every one As they're fallin' I'll never see her again Or breathe her fire Only she could dry These tears of mine Well, I've gotta make sense Of the time that's left In a hurry I'm going blind 'Cause I'm always cryin' And it's blurry Well, there's nothin' worse Than these tears so strong It'd rust a knife through a voodoo doll It's pourin' down, burnin' up the ground As they're fallin' Tears so strong What went wrong What's done is done I got a heavy one As they're fallin' Tears so strong Can't hold on Until the Kingdom comes I'm countin' every one As they're fallin' I'll never see her again Or breathe her fire Only she could dry These tears of mine Explain Request ×
