Learn to Cry

(written by Michelle Malone (c)1993, Cold Cocked Music/Sony ATV Songs/BMI)

If I d never had a thirst for another s well.

If my throat had never dried and

my strength had never failed.

On a hot summer night with a full moon rise.

I d have never gone astray if it wasn t for the sky

If it wasn t for the train that came a-tickin down the track.

The one that took

you away the one that ain t coming back.

If it wasn t for the whistle singing

soft and low, I could still hear you say that you never would go

If it wasn t for the sky, oh, the sky.

You would never have learned to fly.

If it wasn t for the sky, oh, my eyes.

I would never have learned to cry

Don t you let the sky fall down on me.

Don t you let the sky fall down on me.

Don t you let the sky fall down on me.

Don t you let the sky fall down on me

If it weren t for the rain fallin down on me.

If it weren t for the leaves

blowin all around me.

If it weren t for my sorrow, I wouldn t be here today.

And if it weren t for the sky, I wouldn t feel this way

If it weren t for the sky, oh, the sky.

You would never have learned to fly.

If it weren t for the sky, oh, my eyes.

I would never have learned to cry

Don t you let the sky fall down on me.

Don t you let the sky fall down on me.

Don t you let the sky fall down on me.

Don t you let the sky fall.

You let the sky fall down on me
