Cry To Heaven Lyrics - Ice On Fire - Elton John

I found a black beret on the street today 

It was lying in the gutter all torn 

There's a white flag flying on a tall building 

But the kids just watch the storm 

Their dirty faces pressed on the windows 

Shattered glass before their eyes 

There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway 

Where the sniper sleeps at night 

No birthday songs to sing again 

Just bricks and stones to give them 

Wrap them up in your father's flags 

And let them cry to heaven

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

No birthday songs to sing again 

Just bricks and stones to give them 

Wrap them up in your father's flags 

And let them cry to heaven 

There are many graves by a cold lake 

As the beds were when your babies are born 

And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin 

But the kids just watch the storm 

I saw a black cat tease a white mouse 

Until he killed it with his claws 

Seems a lot of countries do the same thing 

Before they go to war 

No birthday songs to sing again 

Just bricks and stones to give them 

Wrap them up in your father's flags 

And let them cry to heaven 

Oh, no birthday songs to sing again 

Just bricks and stones to give them 

Oh, wrap them up in your father's flags 

And let them cry to heaven 

Let them cry to heaven 

Let them cry to heaven 

Let them cry to heaven
