Tony Joe White - Someone Is Crying lyrics
[Tony Joe White - Someone Is Crying lyrics]
The fire came down from the mountain
The people watched their village go up in flames
And the rain never came
Does anyone know, someone is crying
Is there no concern
There's so many facing the night without shelter
And there's nothing left to burn
Daylight falls on the desert
The stallion is running with a herd
And the birds, circled above
Does anyone know, someone is crying
Their men are loading their guns
And the shots keep ringing out, like thunder
And there's no where left to run
The sun is falling in the ocean
Turning the sand into pearls
And the girl watches alone
No one knows she is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and moves into the sunset
She has walked these shores for weeks
Does anyone know, someone is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and goes into the sunsets
She has walked these shores for years
The people watched their village go up in flames
And the rain never came
Does anyone know, someone is crying
Is there no concern
There's so many facing the night without shelter
And there's nothing left to burn
Daylight falls on the desert
The stallion is running with a herd
And the birds, circled above
Does anyone know, someone is crying
Their men are loading their guns
And the shots keep ringing out, like thunder
And there's no where left to run
The sun is falling in the ocean
Turning the sand into pearls
And the girl watches alone
No one knows she is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and moves into the sunset
She has walked these shores for weeks
Does anyone know, someone is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and goes into the sunsets
She has walked these shores for years
