The Last Time I Cried - Chris De Burgh

The last time I cried

I was sitting home and it was deep in the night

Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights

Giving all that I had

To take them away

Giving all that I had

To make them pay

The last time I cried

I could see the people, long ago in the rain

Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train

And the hands on the bar

The eyes full of tears

And the word is the same

For a thousand years

Eli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken me

Eli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken me

The last time I cried

I could not believe it, when I held on a face

Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain

It was the face of a child

My child here asleep

And the soldier who smiled

The man was me

Eli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken me

Eli Eli Lama, oh, why

Have you forsaken me?

Eli Eli Lama, oh, Lord

You have forsaken me

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time I cried

The last time
