Flatlanders - You've Never Seen Me Cry lyrics

rate me

The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid ground

The country mailman mutters as he motors into town

The sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to see

The way I laughed at the way I cried at the way you treated me

The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry

And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry

The windshield and the radio play sadly through the night

A crazy blazin' fallin' star just passed me on the right

Tail lights down the highway fade low and out of sight

That farmer's dog can only bark but this cold north wind can bite

The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry

And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry

The windbreaks and the watersheds are growin' old this year

The moon breaks in a brand new song as I break in a tear

I've heard that all good things must end, they say what's done is done

And I guess I should be flyin' cause it's killin' me to run

The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry

And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry
