Lucinda Williams - Pyramid Of Tears Lyrics
Pyramid of tearsPyramid of tearsPyramid of tears, I see you cryHer dress don't hide her ageNot like mama said it wouldAnd her smile fades awayJust like daddy said it couldNo, things don't come so easyNot when you turn twenty fiveAnd to blow out the candlesTakes a pill of concentrationI can't look inside her eyesI can't kiss her perfect lipsI can't whisper in her earsAnd take her far away from thisPyramid of tearsPyramid of tearsPyramid of tears, I see you cryI can't hold her tight enoughNot to steal away the painI can't look into her eyesAnd tell her everything's okayNo, she's not tired, she's just olderAnd she's lost the will to flyI can't whisper in her earsAnd tell her everything's alrightPyramid of tearsPyramid of tearsPyramid of tears, I see you cryPyramid of tearsPyramid of tearsPyramid of tears, I see you cryI see you cryI see you cryI see you cry
