Oh I Wept
For days
Filled my eyes
With silly tears
But I don’t
Care no more
I don’t care if
My eyes get sore.

I take my seat on the train
And let the sun come melt my pain
Come tomorrow I’ll be far away
In the sunshine of another day.

A worried mind
Makes so hard to bear
Hard to live
And hard to care.

But I don’t
Care no more
I don’t care if
My eyes get sore.
Now I’ve left
It all behind
I did not care
To be so unkind.

Oh,
I did not…

But the street
Is warm and bright
Far away
I’m gonna be tonight
