Don't Cry Now

[Chorus]

If I don't cry now

The trees'll be sick

If I don't cry now

The rocks will insist

I'm pretending to be someone else

If I don't cry now

[Verse]

My sister and I snuck through the strange church office

Past the secretary's desk

In her eyes I saw it

By "you poor kids" my face was set in a half smile

Having learned by now that frozen cheeks

Can sell my denial?

[Chorus]

If I don't cry now

The trees'll be sick

If I don't cry now

The rocks will insist

I'm pretending to be someone else

If I don't cry now

[Outro]

Watching the interstate go by

From the backseat window

Heart still soft

Eyes still wide

Head still on a swivel
