The Last Time I Cried
Chris de Burgh
The last time I cried
I was sitting home and it was deep in the night
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights
Giving all that I had
To take them away (away away away away away)
Giving all that I had
To make them pay (pay pay pay pay pay pay)
The last time I cried
I could see the people long ago in the rain
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train
And the hands on the bars
The eyes full of tears (tears tears tears tears tears)
And the word is the same
For a thousand years (years years years years years)
Eli eli lama
Oh Lord
You have forsaken me
Eli eli lama
Oh Lord
You have forsaken me
The last time I cried
I could not believe it when I held on a face
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain
It was the face of a child
My child here asleep (asleep asleep asleep asleep asleep)
And the soldier who smiled
The man was me (me me me me me me)
Eli eli lama
Oh Lord
You have forsaken me
Eli eli lama
Oh why
Have you forsaken me?
Eli eli lama
Oh Lord (Lord)
You have forsaken me
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time I cried
The last time
