The Sound of Your Cry
(Giant/Baum/Caye)
The clock by the bed is ticking
too loud in the quiet night
I lie in the darkness thinking
I must go before it's light
Before you open up your eyes
and you beg me to stay
I'll leave 'cause I can't stand
to see you hurt this way
Sleep my love
as I kiss you goodbye
Then I won't hear
the sound of your cry
Though I knew the time was coming
and our love would end somehow
I just couldn't bear to tell you
exactly just when or how
I know we can't go on,
that it was wrong to start
But if you wake up crying now,
you know you'll break my heart
Sleep my love
as I kiss you goodbye
Then I won't hear
the sound of your cry
