Michelle Malone - CRY ME A RIVER Lyrics

From the Album: Stompin' Ground (SBS Records)

Cry Me A River Michelle Malone (STRANGE BIRD SONGS/ASCAP)

D
Monday I felt like an astronaut walking on the moon for the very first time
Em A D
I was feeling fine, I was ready to fly
Tuesday I felt like I was racing time in the ecochallenge, felt like I was dying
On a mountain side, I wanted to cry
Em A D
Well, I cry me a river then I poke holes in my boat
I try to deliver then I put sharks in my mote
Bm Go to cross the Sahara I poured out my water
G A D
I’m lighting these fires and living on the wire

Wednesday I felt like a little kid lost inside the mall, I needed you to tell me
Everything’s ok, I want you to stay
Thursday I felt like an animal locked inside a cage about to suffocate
All that I could do was run away

Well, I cry me a river then I poke holes in my boat
I try to deliver then I put sharks in my mote
Go to cross the Sahara I pour out my water
I’m lighting these fires and living on the wire
Em A I don’t know why, I don’t know why
Bm G I don’t know why I sabotage myself
A Leave me hanging out on the line
G A D
Making happiness hard to find

One day I’ll tire of wasting time
lying on my back watching clouds roll by
I’ll be ready to fly

I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
