You clean your room and under your bed
Lay a picture long forgotten
With a hand to your head you sigh out loud
As a memory rushes over
And buries you
Summer rain storm
But the shed was dry
With a girl from Carolina
And you held her so tight
For the warmth that the rain denied
As the time was slow to a flash
So alive
Listen to them when they say
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
Cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom yeah
We dance and sing now
Trace the moon
As it crawled across the night sky
Covered in a dream
A lovers' pact
Here's the now and don't look back
Oh and how I tried
To heed the words written here
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
Cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom yeah
For everyone yeah
There's a person place or time
That brings you back and makes you feel alive
Before your reason clouds your eye
You could rule the world if you wanted to
Well I hear you're living far away
And that life's treated you well
You know that we were young and this picture's old
But I still can hear you say through the pounding of the rain
And don't if you try
Tell me can you hear them say
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
Cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
