Janis Ian - I'll Cry Tonight Lyrics
I'll cry tonightnight is the enemyPoisons the memoryMartyrs it secretlyMidnight comes too fastIt comes too silentlyThe moon has no mercy nowto live anymoreOne day the rains will comeand wash away the tearsSunlight will fade the yearsMidnight comes too fastand I don't wantthe night to lastShadows on the glassFaces in window panesOld lace and picture framesrattle their ancient chainsMidnight will surprisemoonlight at the doorThe night has a thousand eyesand i don't know whyto live any moreThey told me how you loved mewhen I finally got the braveryto look beyond these prison wallsand shadows hanging over meI cannot find a way to bea lover for your life, althoughthey tell me it comes easilyI somehow cannot let the seasons passwithout demanding that they lastand though I know forever well,I also know my private hellSilent voices in the nightThey are crying- SacrificeOne day the rains will comeand wash away the yearsSunlight will fade the tearsMidnight comes too fastand I don't wantthe night to last
