M. Lockwood Porter - Cried Through the Night

Well, I stand upon a mountain, about a thousand miles from home
The wind, it howls right through me, cutting to my flesh and bone
It's a feeling I remember, dulled by years inside that room
I was the kind of foolish young man who loves his sorrow like a womb

I'm alright, just cried through the night
I'm alright, just cried through the night

Sadness came and stabbed me, I let it fester for a year.
When I asked her for another, she said You're talking kinda weird'.
I pictured all the universe a beach of shifting sand
I tried to grasp a handful but it slipped right through my hand

I'm alright, just cried through the night
I'm alright, just cried through the night

We drove to Treasure Island on my last night in town
There were Italians shouting rock and roll' in the tour bus turnaround.
You said that we're all born skydivers. The wise ones learn to love the ground.
You can waste an entire lifetime, your eyes shut tight the whole way down.

I'm alright, just cried through the night
I'm alright, just cried through the night
