Pyramid Of Tears Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry 

Her dress don't hide her age 

Not like mama said it would 

And her smile fades away 

Just like daddy said it could 

No, things don't come so easy 

Not when you turn twenty five 

And to blow out the candles 

Takes a pill of concentration 

I can't look inside her eyes 

I can't kiss her perfect lips 

I can't whisper in her ears 

And take her far away from this 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry 

I can't hold her tight enough 

Not to steal away the pain 

I can't look into her eyes 

And tell her everything's OK 

No, she's not tired, she's just older 

And she's lost the will to fly 

I can't whisper in her ears 

And tell her everything's alright 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears 

Pyramid of tears, I see you cry 

I see you cry 

I see you cry 

I see you cry
