[Verse 1]

One morning, this sadness will fossilize

And I will forget how to cry

I'll keep going to work, and you won't see a change

Save, perhaps, a slight gray in my eye

I will go jogging routinely

Calmly and rhythmically run

And when I find that a knife's sticking out of my side

I'll pull it out without questioning why


[Chorus]

And then, one warm summer night

I'll hear fireworks outside

And I'll listen to the memories as they

Cry, cry, cry


[Verse 2]

I will be married to silence

The gentleman won't say a word

But you know, oh, you know, in the quiet he holds

Runs a river that'll never find home


[Chorus]

And then, one warm summer night

I'll hear fireworks outside

And I'll listen to the memories as they

Cry, cry, cry

Oh, one warm summer night

I'll hear fireworks outside

And I'll listen to the memories as they

Cry, cry, cry


[Outro]

Cry, cry, cry

Cry, cry, cry
