DAVE LEWIS a.k.a LEWISDAVE: MUSIC

Crying in the Night (Tall Trees) (August 2007)

(DAVE LEWIS, TREVOR SHIPSTON AND THE BAREFOOT PILOTS)
Wouldn't it be nice to get on with the neighbours?
Crying in the Night (Tall Trees)

Last night through the rain again
I heard a voice crying out in pain
Through the screams all I heard was rage
Like a wild beast caught in a cage

I hear you crying out through the rain
And then you fall silent again

Tall trees swaying in the night
And every day you say you’re all right

I wonder why you don’t slam the door
Make a stand that he can’t ignore
Or even leave early next day
I wonder what it is that makes you stay

I hear you crying out through the rain
And then you fall silent again

Tall trees swaying in the night
And every day you say you’re all right
Tall trees and behind them you hide
But we can hear you crying in the night

And all the friends of his public face
Never see and never hear his disgrace
A hundred screams empty bottles of wine
Another day and everything is fine

I hear you crying out through the rain
And then you fall silent again

Tall trees swaying in the night
And every day you say you’re all right
Tall trees and behind them you hide
But we can hear you crying in the night
