Cry

for Catherine and for Jim Martin

 

I heard a story a guy named Jason told
About a man he’d known
Who’d lost his wife

She fought so hard for him
But she could not hold on
She left behind his child for him to hold

When Jason told that story
I held my breath in fear
That anyone would suffer such a broken heart

And as that little child became a little girl
He loved her twice as much
She was his lover’s child

She had her mother’s smile
She had her mother’s eyes
Although she’d never cry
For fear she’d never stop

For fear

When Jason told that story
I held my breath in fear
That anyone would suffer such a broken heart
And not cry
She didn’t want to start to cry

When Jason told that story
I held my breath in fear
That anyone would suffer such a broken heart

And not cry
Cry
Cry
