Lyrics
If You Don't Cry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Softly the crystals falling on 17th Street do their dance and die and are gone
Millions of crystal balls roll around your feet and nothing gets done
An hour goes by, She doesn't
If you don't cry it isn't love
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough
Dying all day in thousands of little ways. Dancing alone and drinking a lot
Closing the clubs and haunting the cabarets looking for what
Another five years off your life
If you don't cry it isn't love
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough
A year goes by, She doesn't
If you don't cry it isn't love
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough
If you don't cry it isn't love
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough
