If you've ever been taken for money
If you've ever gone down with your pride
If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost
You know that the river is wide
Like a painter who waits for the sunrise
With a picture in both of his hands
It's like part of your life is already begun
With something that you don't understand
Don't cry now
Ohh don't cry now
Don't cry now
No don't cry now
When you're lying alone in the night time
And your loneliness turns into fear
With the words of your memory failing and falling
You're drowning in a river of tears
Don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now
If you've ever thought much about freedom
You might find yourself caught in some door
With somebody you love more than your whole world
And you've been weeping but you don't know what for
Don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Ohh don't cry now
