I whisper softly but the words no longer say So now we watch it gently drift away Blasted with the sigh, surrounded with tears So upon this mountain, I rest my fears Brother, am I a fool? You can cry me a river, cry me a river I could be swimming in your sea when you cry me a river I cried a river for you What kind of fool am I to think that you'd stay? I hold the cup against my lips and i taste Fills me with desire, fills me with hate So upon my knees I'll wait You can cry me a river, cry me a river I could be swimming in your sea when you cry me a river I cried a river for you There are rivers to be filled That doesn't change the way that I choose to live All you said were lies Now you're only waiting for rivers to be cried Cry me a river cuz a cried one for you There ain't no mountain i wouldn't climb for you What kinda fool am i to think that you'll stay I hold the cup cuz i miss the taste
