Cry Me a River Songtext
von John Martyn

Now you say you love me
But you cry the whole night through
You can cry me a river
Oh yes you′re going to cry me a river
I cried a river over you.

Now you say you're sorry for being so untrue
You cry me a river
You may cry a river
I cried a river over you
Yes I did child, yes I did my child.

You drove me nearly out of my head
You stood by and never shed a tear
I remember every word that was said
Oh yes, I remember, never fear.

You may cry me a river, c′mon now
Cry me a river
You cry me a river
I cried a river for you oh how I cried.


You nearly drove me out of my own sweet head
You stood by, you never shed a tear for me.
I remember every cruel word, everything that was said
Yes I remember, never you fear.

You cry me a river
I cried a river for you
I cried a river of tears for you.
Yes, I cried a river of tears for you.

Turn back the tide of life, I cried, salty water running down
I cried I love you
I cried I love you
I cried, I cried.

You may cry, oh, she may cry now, a river of tears
A river of tears for you
You may cry now, she may cry, oh, she may cry now
You may cry, oh, she may cry now a river of tears
A river of tears for you.

I cry you can cry me a river
Lord loves a cheerful giver
C'mon and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears
C′mon now and cry me a river of tears
C′mon now, c'mon down and cry me a river.
