Tell me once again how you cried
The day I went away
Tell me once again how you prayed
To keep me safe and sheltered
From the winds and the ways
Of a cruel worldFrom the sea and the sun
And the sands of time
That would keep falling through
Until I came back to you
Tell me once again how you criedWere you crying 'cause you didn't know
What would become of us?
Were you so uncertain of my intentions?
Looking back I can say
I shed a few tears of my own
That's why I need you to tell me, ohTell me how you knew even then
That we would have our day
Nothing from before, come between
To keep us among the lonely
Ah, tell me once again how you criedWere you crying 'cause you didn't know
What would become of us?
Were you so uncertain of my intentions?
Looking back I can say
I shed a few tears of my own
That's why I need you to tell me, ohTell me once again how you cried
The day I went away
Tell me once again how you prayed
To keep me safe and sheltered
From the winds and the ways
Of a cruel worldFrom the sea and the sun
And the sands of time
That would keep falling through
Until I came back to you
Tell me once againTell me once again
Tell me once again how you cried
