Harlem - Cry Now Cry Later lyrics

Last night I dreamt
Of a swimming pool filled with tears
I called out your name
The choir just held up their hands

We hate when the night comes
It’s dark & it’s cold
Sleeping with our backs turned
Better than being alone

Cry now, cry later goodbye alligator
Cry now, cry later hello alligator

I put on a sad face but not really that sad
But searching for sympathy
So I guess kinda sad

I asked the choir
"What’s there to sing about?"
They put their hands in their pockets
And nothingness is all they found

We hate when the night comes
It’s dark & it’s cold
Sleeping with our backs turned
Better than being alone

Cry now, cry later goodbye alligator
Cry now, cry later hello alligator
