I'll Cry Tonight Lyrics - Singles - Janis Ian

I'll cry tonight 

night is the enemy 

Poisons the memory 

Martyrs it secretly 

Midnight comes too fast 

It comes too silently 

The moon has no mercy now 

to live anymore 

One day the rains will come 

and wash away the tears 

Sunlight will fade the years 

Midnight comes too fast 

and I don't want 

the night to last

Shadows on the glass 

Faces in window panes 

Old lace and picture frames 

rattle their ancient chains 

Midnight will surprise 

moonlight at the door 

The night has a thousand eyes 

and i don't know why 

to live any more 

They told me how you loved me 

when I finally got the bravery 

to look beyond these prison walls 

and shadows hanging over me 

I cannot find a way to be 

a lover for your life, although 

they tell me it comes easily 

I somehow cannot let the seasons pass 

without demanding that they last 

and though I know forever well, 

I also know my private hell 

Silent voices in the night 

They are crying- Sacrifice
