Tell me once again how you cried
the day I went away
Tell me once again how you prayed
to keep me safe and sheltered
From the winds and the ways
of a cruel world
From the sea and the sun
and the sands of time
that would keep falling through
until I came back to you
Tell me once again how you cried
Were you crying 'cause you didn't know
what would become of us
Were you so uncertain of my intentions
Looking back I can say
I shed a few tears of my own
That's why I need you to tell me
Oh...
Tell me how you knew even then
that we would have our day
Nothing from before, come between
to keep us among the lonely
Ah...
Tell me once again how you cried
Were you crying Ôcause you didn't know
what would become of us
Were you so uncertain of my intentions
Looking back I can say
I shed a few tears of my own
That's why I need you to tell me
Oh...
Tell me once again how you cried
the day I went away
Tell me once again how you prayed
to keep me safe and sheltered
From the winds and the ways
of a cruel world
From the sea and the sun
and the sands of time
that would keep falling through
until I came back to you
Tell me once again
Tell me once again
Tell me once again how you cried
