lyrics

Cry for me, lady, be my mourning dove
In a world this filled with sorrow, you can never cry enough
Just for me, there's no one listening up above
There ain't no God in heaven, at least not one of love

Pray for me, that his name may comfort you
You just might be forgiven for this sinful thing we do
Pray for me, the way I pray for you
With that name divine, just nevermind which gods I'm praying to

See that angel, darling, dressed in black
Where nature waits to take her treasures back
Lady, don't it just break your heart to know
That what you get is what you see
So honey, cry for me

Cry for me, and maybe this old world might be redeemed
You know the one thing that we all fear most is the one thing guaranteed
Can't you see, there ain't no prize for your good deeds
And these sins are all just exercise if you won't cry for me

Here comes that devil, darling, dressed in white
Tonight's the night two sinners see the light
And lady, don't it just break your heart to know
That what you get is what you see
So honey, cry for me
