Make Me Cry - Jacob Collier

In every sea there’s a mouth of a river

Where waterfall riches flow down

Why do they cry?

No one knows why

In every mouth there’s a word of forgiveness

That melts all the ice to the ground

Why do you sigh?

I don’t know why

Why does the sky fall down

Like pouring rain?

To let it flow again

Gonna make you feel alright

Take your dreams, keep them out of sight

Wanna make you come alive

Close your eyes, keep you warm at night

So come a little closer to me

So many things I want you to see

My darling

In every laugh is the sorrow

Of all of the tears that you’ve held for so long

Would you make me cry?

Oh, let me run dry

In every tear are the eyes of a father

And mother that brought you to see

Sing lullaby

As you say goodnight, night, night (goodnight)

Why do the stars look down (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10)

And feel no shame (Counting up the droplets of the tears falling from the sky)

When they are all the same?

Gonna set your mind alight

Keep you close to me and hold you tight

Wanna keep you burning bright

Take your words, shine them like a light

So come a little closer to me (Come a little closer)

So many things I want you to see (Many things I want you to see)

My darling

In every soul is the need to grow older

To speed up the passing of time

I don’t know why

But it makes me cry
