Crowded House

You Are The Only One To Make Me Cry

Crowded House


Who'll face the tide
And take their chances
Will fasten the lines
To broken branches
Adrift on the ocean in wild winter storms
I have to imagine things to keep myself warm

The night closing in
But not to worry
Told everyone I know
That I was sorry
I heard them all singing for comfort and peace
And in my confusion I still believe

You're the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the people in my life
My thoughts keep returning to you
But consciousness if fading fast

Surrounded by signs
That go on living
Make circles in time
A spiderweb spinning
But I have no illusions of where I am now
I let this wave take me and draw me down

You're the one to make me cry
You are the one to take me home
Of all the stories in my life
Only good things return to you
If I could only say the word
If you could hear me cry for help

But I lift my head up to the sky
And the planes that were circling now have gone
