You Are The One To Make Me Cry

Crowded House · Time On Earth [2007]

Who'll face the tide and take their chances

Will fasten the lights to broken branches?

Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms

I have to imagine things to keep myself warm



The night closing in, but not to worry

Told everyone I know that I was sorry

But I heard them all singing for comfort and peace

And in my confusion here I still believe



You are the one to make me cry

You were the one to take me home

Of all the people in my life

My thoughts keep returning to you

But consciousness is fading fast



Surrounded by sights that go on living

Make circles in time, the spider web spinning

But I have no illusions of where I am now

I'll let this wave take me and draw me down



You are the one to make me cry

You were the one to take me home

Of all the stories in my life

Only good things return to you

If I could only say the words

If you could hear me cry for help

But I'd lift my head up to the sky

But the planes that were circling now have gone
