When the bird that I was mending finally finds the door
When the flowers I was saving all fall to the floor
When the way you say my name doesn't sing anymore
Cry for me
When your gentle words of kindness don't feel all that kind
When the where we are now is far from your mind
When all those timeless things come to have a time
Cry for me
Come on and cry for me
Maybe you don't feel it, but would you try for me
I wouldn't want to steal it, but I would like to see
That I was once a friend to your heart
We were together before we were apart
Come on and cry for me
When I wake alone from my simple dreams
When all my wishful thinking becomes what it seems
When that beautiful bird finally finds its wings
Cry for me
Come on and cry for me
Maybe you don't feel it, but would you try for me
I wouldn't want to steal it, but I would like to see
That I was once a friend to your heart
We were together before we were apart
Come on and cry for me
