Lyrics
Come on over here
Cause I've got an ear
To listen to a pretty girl who's crying
I see you shedding tears
Of heartache for years
Trying to hide a lonely soul who's dying
The river wants to live
The levee's gonna give
And you can't hold it back, but you've been trying
It's alright if you want to cry
Go on and say goodbye
To all that sorrow coming through your eyes
And if I join you with a tear
It's just because I'm near
To someone else who's finally realized
Life's a lonely road
Once I asked a friend why my mother put an end
To twenty years at my father's side
She said she had a dream that she never reached it seems
And expectations cause love to die
Deep inside I knew that her words rang true
And somehow I got angry inside
It brought a picture to my mind
How could I forget the time?
A young boy saw his daddy cry
But I don't mean to burden you
I know what you're going through
My heart's just as heavy inside
It's alright if you want to cry
Go on and say goodbye
To all that sorrow coming through your eyes
And if I join you with a tear
It's just because I'm near
To someone else who's finally realized
Life's a lonely road
And to those of you who come to me
To get your dose of sympathy
You might be better off getting' stoned
Cause I can ramble on for days
About all the different ways
One can end up walking all alone
But if your eyes and pretty smile
Would like to stay and chat a while
I'll give you my full attention
So just tell me where it hurts
Let your guard down, I won't flirt
You vulnerable little girl
It's alright if you want to cry
Go on and say goodbye
To all that sorrow coming through your eyes
And if I join you with a tear
It's just because I'm near
To someone else who's finally realized
Life's a lonely ride
Damn it's been so long
Since I've had someone to hold
I'm starting to get used to the cold
