Better Than Ezra

Cry in the Sun

You clean your room and under your bed
Lay a picture long forgotten
With a hand to your head you sigh out loud
As a memory rushes over
And buries you
Summer rain storm
But the shed was dry
With a girl from Carolina
And you held her so tight
For the warmth that the rain denied
As the time was slow to a flash
So alive
Listen to them when they say
CHORUS:
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
Cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom yeah
We dance and sing now
Trace the moon
As it crawled across the night sky
Covered in a dream
A lovers' pact
Here's the now and don't look back
Oh and how I tried
To heed the words written here
CHORUS:
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
Cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
BRIDGE:
For everyone yeah
There's a person place or time
That brings you back and makes you feel alive
Before your reason clouds your eye
You could rule the world if you wanted to
Well I hear you're living far away
And that life's treated you well
You know that we were young and this picture's old
But I still can hear you say through the pounding of the rain
And don't if you try
Tell me can you hear them say
CHORUS:
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
Cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
