Down by the docks
I lost my friend
We cried a lot
Now they're drifting down around the bend
What to do
When I lost my way
Stuck in the past
With all my demons and my old ways
How I wish I could cry
It's been awhile since I cried
And how I wish I could cry
I had a love
But now they are gone
Ran far away
While I was sleeping drunk upon a lawn
All alone
drinking for two
I'll pour you glass
In case you ever come back to this fool
How I wish I could cry
It's been awhile since I cried
And how I wish I could cry
I'd sell my soul
For one shot at fame
Hell i'd sell my soul
For just a bit of food here on my plate
Take my bones
And all of my blood
Take all my hope
I'm just tired of being so damn broke
How I wish I could cry
It's been awhile since I cried
And how I wish I could cry
Up on the hills
You flew away
With wind in your hair
Moonlight pressed against your gentle face
There I cried
For the first time
Since you said goodbye
Back when I could look you in the eyes
