Just as your eyes are closing
There was something that I meant to say
Like falling from my heart
But I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how
Chorus:
I never cry for our love
I never cry
I never cry for our love
I never cry
There's no goodbye
These hands have always lived through mine
Now everything I touch I feel I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how
Chorus
I'm so cynical
It's in my face and
It's just the bird I caught
Leaves its taste hanging round round round
Chorus
Just as your eyes are closing
There was something that I meant to say
Like falling from my heart
But I don't know how
Before you close your eyes
I don't know how
Chorus
Never cry.... never cry
