Pyramid of Tears - Lucinda Williams

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry

Her dress don’t hide her age

Not like mama said it would

And her smile fades away

Just like daddy said it could

No, things don’t come so easy

Not when you turn twenty five

And to blow out the candles

Takes a pill of concentration

I can’t look inside her eyes

I can’t kiss her perfect lips

I can’t whisper in her ears

And take her far away from this

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry

I can’t hold her tight enough

Not to steal away the pain

I can’t look into her eyes

And tell her everything’s okay

No, she’s not tired, she’s just older

And she’s lost the will to fly

I can’t whisper in her ears

And tell her everything’s alright

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry

I see you cry

I see you cry

I see you cry
