How You Cried

Tell me once again how you cried

The day I went away

Tell me once again how you prayed

To keep me safe and sheltered

From the winds and the ways

Of a cruel world

From the sea and the sun

And the sands of time

That would keep falling through

Until I came back to you

Tell me once again how you cried

Were you crying 'cause you didn't know

What would become of us

Were you so uncertain of my intentions

Looking back I can say

I shed a few tears of my own

That's why I need you to tell me

Tell me how you knew even then

That we would have our day

Nothing from before, come between

To keep us among the lonely

Tell me once again how you cried

Were you crying 'cause you didn't know

What would become of us

Were you so uncertain of my intentions

Looking back I can say

I shed a few tears of my own

That's why I need you to tell me

Oh

Tell me once again how you cried

The day I went away

Tell me once again how you prayed

To keep me safe and sheltered

From the winds and the ways

Of a cruel world

From the sea and the sun

And the sands of time

That would keep falling through

Until I came back to you

Tell me once again

Tell me once again

Tell me once again how you cried
