Cry Me a River Songtext
von Johnny Long

In the quiet of midnight where shadows embrace
A guitar weeps its secrets notes like teardrops trace
Strings tangle with sorrow overbends and bends
As if the universe itself mourns its fractured ends

The river runs deep a current of memories
Each ripple a story whispered through melodies
Why do we weep? Is it loss or love′s refrain?
The moon listens closely as if it too feels the pain

Cry me a river my friend let it overflow
For every heartache, every dream we let go
The bass hums like a cello resonating our strife
And the harmonics dance a fragile thread of life


Down by the water's edge where reeds sway and sigh
I see your reflection a fractured lullaby
Did you weep for a lover for promises untold?
Or did the weight of existence become too bold?

The river knows secrets etched in silver waves
Of bridges burned and moonlit graves
Perhaps we cry for moments lost for roads untraveled
Or for the echoes of laughter that once unraveled

Cry me a river my friend let it overflow
For every heartache, every dream we let go
The bass hums like a cello resonating our strife
And the harmonics dance a fragile thread of life

The river knows secrets etched in silver waves
Of bridges burned and moonlit graves
Perhaps we cry for moments lost for roads untraveled
Or for the echoes of laughter that once unraveled

And now the lyrics emerge inked in midnight blue
A confession whispered to the stars known by so few
