The Last Time I Cried

The last time I cried

I was sitting home and it was deep in the night

Staring at the shadows and the flickering lightsGiving all that I had

To take them away

Giving all that I had

To make them payThe last time I cried

I could see the people, long ago in the rain

Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a trainAnd the hands on the bar

The eyes full of tears

And the word is the same

For a thousand yearsEli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken me

Eli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken meThe last time I cried

I could not believe it, when I held on a face

Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rainIt was the face of a child

My child here asleep

And the soldier who smiled

The man was meEli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken me

Eli Eli Lama, oh, why

Have you forsaken me?Eli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken meThe last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I criedThe last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time
