Cried Too Long - Irma Thomas

There’s nothing to do but walk away

There’s nothing but true, true words to say

But the truth isn’t kind

It brings tears to sometimes

I may be sad but I’m strong

I know I’ve cried too long

I’ve made up my mind

It’s time to leave these tears behind

And start to believe

The bad times are gone

And I’ll carry on

Though I can’t right every wrong

I know I’ve cried too long

There’s no place to go but up from the ground

And it’s gonna be harder to put me back down

But I’ve found a way

To turn dark into day

Yes I knew it all along

Seems that I’ve cried too long
