Cripples Cry - Tim Buckley

I know we’re through

But I still can’t really believe that we’d fall

And though it’s sad

I still try to hold back my fears

But I still call

What can I say or do for you?

What would you like me to be?

Shall I laugh, dance, or sing for you?

Cripples cry

What can I do?

Yes I know that you don’t want me anymore

I carry tears, incense and fine wines

What do you do?

But please believe that your love will grow with time

Or will heal

Although you say you’ll never change your mind

I’ll be here

And I’m a torn-down child for you

I build my castles in the sky

And I’ve the colors of a clown

In the teardrops from my eyes

Yes I know that you don’t want me anymore

I carry tears, incense and fine wines

What do you do?

I’m on the other side of fear

Through my pain I’ve learned to love

And if my actions aren’t too clear

Remember clowns only cry

Yes I know that you don’t want me anymore

I carry tears, incense and fine wines

What do you do?

Your dark secrets torture my mind

Your lack of love turns me cold

And your first lovers you’ve left behind

Oh do you wish to return?

Yes I know that you don’t want me anymore

I carry tears, incense and fine wines

What do you do?

What can I say or do for you?

What would you like me to be?

Shall I laugh, dance, or sing for you?

Cripples cry

What can I do?

Yes I know that you don’t want me anymore

I carry tears, incense and fine wines

What do you do?
