Lamentation

I saw my brother

He did me wrong

He put a gun up to my face

My money's gone

I said please don't be that way

I'm just trying to make it through the day

He said you better not come 'round

me before too long

Whoa ooh

Love is crying (whoa oh)

Love is dying (whoa oh)

Love is crying (whoa oh)

Omm

I saw my sister, she did me wrong

I had a smile up on my face

But hers were so cold

I said sister please don't go

I'm just trying to say hello

She said you better not come 'round me

Before too long and I said

Whoa ooh

Love is crying (whoa oh)

Love is dying (whoa oh)

Love is crying (whoa oh)

Can you hear the cries from heaven up above

Looking down upon this world of dying love

Open up your heart hurry don't delay

Before the chance to save

the world is gone away

I asked my father, Lord what's wrong

Thru his tears I heard him say

Child be strong

'Cause the world I'm trying to save

Done turned me away

But they better come 'round

my way before too long

Whoa ooh

Love is crying (whoa oh)

Love is dying (whoa oh)

Love is crying (whoa oh)
