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.

When ya walk out of here

when ya walk out

I gotta fill up that space

or fill up that no-space

I'll fill it up with tears [4 lines of this line repeated]

Cry Cry Cry Cry

Where no-fish can swim [4 lines of this line]

Cry Cry Cry

When ya slam that door when that door slams

I gotta fill up that space

an' I'll pack my suitcase

I'll fill it up with clothes

or I'll fill it up with no clothes

I'll fill it up with tears

and I'll Pack it up with tears etc. [written in lyric book, I

think it returns to the chorus of CRy Cry Cry Where no fish can

swim]

When Ya say goodbye

when ya say goodbye

I'll dig my-self a hole

and fill up that space

I'll fill it up with flesh

an' I'll fill it up with no flesh

I'll fill it up with tears etc.
