[00:09.25]Don't cry my love don't cry no more
[00:18.36]A crashing sky a rolling screen
[00:27.78]A city drowning Gods black tears
[00:37.61]I cannot bear to see
[00:46.87]She lay under the midnight moon
[00:56.25]Her restless body stiring
[01:05.52]Until the magic morning hour
[01:15.18]Like poison it succumbs her
[01:25.00]Her baby skin her old black dress
[01:33.66]Her hair it twists round her necklace
[01:43.80]Constricts and chokes like ruthless vines
[01:52.73]To sleep she overtakes her?
[03:17.96]Her room is painted Heron Blue
[03:27.01]Lit by candlelight and chandelier
[03:36.22]And from her headboard perched so high
[03:46.40]A million dreams have passed her
[03:55.52]Don't cry my love don't cry no more
[04:04.96]It overwhelms my breaking heart
[04:14.38]A minor swell of violins
[04:24.16]I cannot bear to hear them
[04:33.32]A mother shepherds her young birds
[04:42.78]she fills their mouths and warms their souls
[04:52.30]Til they are strong and good to fly
[05:02.13]Away from her alone she'll die
[05:11.25]Cradle on quiet old oak limbs
[05:20.72]As heaven blue her light fails
[05:29.91]A breath of soot into her lungs
[05:39.32]A life, a journeys end in one
[06:06.81]Don't sing that old sad hymn no more
[06:16.87]It resonates inside my soul
[06:26.13]It haunts me in my waking dream
[06:35.57]I cannot bear to hear it
[06:44.63]Don't play those violins no more
[06:54.09]Their melancholic overtones
[07:02.76]They echo off the floor and walls
[07:12.64]I cannot bear to hear them
