Cross To Bear

You ran away with your conscience clear

There was a, a red flag waving in my ear saying

"Stay away, you've got something to fear"

Well why did I not choose to hear?

Well I am through with suffering

Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring

I can sing, I can dance but I can't make this feeling cease

'Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

And we all got our cross to bear

And our Star of David, our dread locked hair

And oh yeah baby, I still care

And if you need some help you know I'll always be there

Well it's been a, a strange year, you've been a very bad dog

As my fire went out, you'd put on another log

But it was worth never having any peace

And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

And we all got our cross to bear

And our Star of David, our dread locked hair

And oh yeah baby, I still care

And if you need some help you know that I'll still be there

Some nights I thought I'd cry forever

I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar

But it was worth always scraping my knees

And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

You' were there

You know I, I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve

And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve

But I'm, I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend

Gonna live at my dreams even if they kill me in the end

And we all got our cross to bear

And our Star of David, our dread locked hair

And oh yeah baby, I still care and I still love you
