D2 A C G
Don?t cry my love don?t cry no more
D2 A C G
A crashing sky a roaring scream
D2 A C G
A city drowned in Gods black tears
D2 A C G
I cannot bear to see you
D2 A C G
She lay under the midnight moon
D2 A C G
Her restless body stirring
D2 A C G
Until the magic morning hour
D2 A C G
Like poison it succumbs her
D2 A C G
Her baby skin her old black dress
D2 A C G
Her hair it twists round her necklace
D2 A C G
Constricts and chokes like ruthless vines
D2 A C G
Til sleep she overtakes her
D2 A C G
Her room is painted Heron Blue
D2 A C G
Lit by candlelight and chandelier
D2 A C G
And from her headboard perched so high
D2 A C G
A million dreams have passed her
D2 A C G
Don?t cry my love don?t cry no more
D2 A C G
It overwhelms my breaking heart
D2 A C G
A minor swell of violins
D2 A C G
I cannot bear to hear them
D2 A C G
A mother shepherds her young birds
D2 A C G
she fills their mouths and warms their souls
D2 A C G
Til they are strong and good to fly
D2 A C G
Away from her alone she?ll die
D2 A C G
Cradle on quiet old oak limbs
D2 A C G
As heaven blew her light fair wind
D2 A C G
A breath of soot into her lung
D2 A C G
A life, a journeys end in one
D2 A C G
Don?t sing that old sad hymn no more
D2 A C G
It resonates inside my soul
D2 A C G
It haunts me in my waking dream
D2 A C G
I cannot bear to hear it
D2 A C G
Don?t play those violins no more
D2 A C G
Their melancholic overtones
D2 A C G
They echo off the floor and walls
D2 A C G
I cannot bear to hear them
