If You Don't Cry
The Magnetic Fields · 69 Love Songs Pt. 2 [1999]
Softly the crystals falling on 17th Street
Do their dance and die
And are gone millions of crystal balls
Roll around your feet and nothing gets done
An hour goes by
She doesn't
If you don't cry it isn't love
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough
Dying all day in thousands of
Little ways
Dancing alone and drinking a lot
Closing the clubs and haunting
The cabarets looking for what
Another five years off your life...
A year goes by
She doesn't...
Do their dance and die
And are gone millions of crystal balls
Roll around your feet and nothing gets done
An hour goes by
She doesn't
If you don't cry it isn't love
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough
Dying all day in thousands of
Little ways
Dancing alone and drinking a lot
Closing the clubs and haunting
The cabarets looking for what
Another five years off your life...
A year goes by
She doesn't...
