《When A Man Cries》歌词

[00:00:00] When A Man Cries - The Divine Comedy

[00:00:09] When a child cries the tears rise quickly

[00:00:14] Spill hot and prickly

[00:00:18] Down the reddened cheeks

[00:00:27] Just to leave as quickly as they came

[00:00:32] And peace returns again

[00:00:40] When a child cries you know about it

[00:00:46] They scream and shout until the hurt is gone

[00:00:58] Like a shower of rain that for a moment

[00:01:03] Hides away the sun

[00:01:09] But when a man cries it's choked and throttled

[00:01:16] It's all been bottled up for far too long

[00:01:29] And when at last the pressure cooker blows

[00:01:33] It's hard to stem the flow

[00:01:41] When a man cries his body shakes

[00:01:46] And his eyeballs ache

[00:01:49] And his mind vibrates

[00:01:53] But he doesn't make a sound

[00:01:59] Don't wanna wake the house now

[00:02:10] Well the reasons are vague

[00:02:13] And hard to put in words

[00:02:16] Just a dull abstract ache

[00:02:19] Don't wanna worry her

[00:02:22] She would only ask

[00:02:23] What's wrong and I'd try to say

[00:02:28] Then she'd take all my pain and explain it away

[00:02:34] But who can explain why a man cries

[00:03:16] When a man cries he cries alone

[00:03:21] And for just a moment he's back at home

[00:03:28] Cradled in his mother's arms

[00:03:34] Free from guilt and safe from harm
