TIME TO CRY

It was time to cry…
A fine layer of dust 
And the dam broke
It was time to cry …
On my Daddy’s gun case
That’s when I choked
It was time to cry…

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I held it in for Mama’s sake
I walk around in such a daze
Daddy was the hub, and we the spokes
He the fire, and we the smoke
When the center dies…
Time to cry
~~*~~

I see Daddy’s shoes…
Under the bed…
They’re too big to fill…
I slid my feet in them…
And I don’t know why…
Time to cry…

When the center dies…
It’s time to cry

The key in the door
My Mama’s home
Have to hold it in
I am not alone
Mama comes my way
Looks at the shoes
Touches my face
Said, Let it loose….
And she held me tight
Time to cry…

 ~~~*Chorus*~~~
I held it in for Mama’s sake
I walk around in such a daze
Daddy was the hub, and we the spokes
He the fire, and we the smoke
When the center dies…
It’s time to cry
~~*~~

Don't hold it all inside
When it’s time to cry
~~*~~
