Time To Cry
Now is the time for my child to cry
Though it wasn’t a part of my schedule
Exhuming her bones, didn’t she die?
Those long haunting days of abandon
Peppered with sunshine and neighborhood cats
Woven with words like “I love you”
Holding confusion like ink on a shirt I still wear,
She’s still there
Now is the time to break what was broken
Step back, and see all the pieces
Connect the dots, she didn’t try
Safety requires Disney vision
Peppered with sunshine and neighborhood cats
Woven with words like “I love you”
Holding the sorrow down dragging the hem on the ground
I fall down
And from here, it’s clear
There’s so much more to the story
I hear you cry
And this time I’ll answer and hold you
It’s time to hear you and hold you
Clear off the desk, and turn off the phone, and feel so alone
It’s time to cry
Time to cry
[piano lead]
She is me and we both see
What you did, what was done
Weaving a tapestry that won’t make sense
‘Til I pull it all out in the sun…
...shine and neighborhood cats
Woven with words like “I love you”
Holding it all like the sun shines while clouds release rain,
It’s okay
‘Cause from here, it’s clear
There’s so much more to the story
I hear you cry
And this time I’ll answer and hold you
It’s time to hear you and hold you
Clear off the desk, and turn off the phone, and feel so alone
It’s time to cry
I hear you cry
