  • You clean out your room, and under your bed
    Lay a picture long forgotten

    With a hand to your head, you sigh out loud
    As the memory rushes over - and buries you
    Summer rain-storm, but the shed was dry
    With a girl from Carolina

    And you held her so tight
    For the warmth that the rain denied
    As the time has slowed to a flash
    So alive, listen to them when they say
    Cry in the sun

    When the devil beats his wife
    If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
    Hope I never see the price of my freedom...yeah

    We danced and sang out
    And traced the moon
    As it crawled across the night sky
    And covered in dew, a lovers' pact
    'Well here's to now and don't look back'

    And oh, how I've tried
    To heed the words written here
    Cry in the sun
    Where the devil beats his wife
    If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
    Hope I never see the price of my freedom..ooh yeah

    For everyone, yeah
    If there's a person, place, or time
    That brings you back and makes you feel alive
    Before your reason clouds your eyes
    Well you could rule the world if you wanted to...yeah

    Well I hear you're livin' far away
    And that life's treated you well
    You know that we were young and this picture's old

    But I still can hear you say
    Through the pounding of the rain
    And oh, if you try
    Tell me, can you hear them say
    Cry in the sun

    When the devil beats his wife
    If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
    Hope I never see the price of my freedom
    Hope I never see the price of my freedom
    Oh yeah Writer/s: KEVIN GRIFFIN

  • Tim from Miami, FlI can listen to Delux over and over. Porcelin is also one of my favs. Thanks for the info "where the devil beats his wife" I thought it was a domestic abuse issue. There are other lyrics in their songs that are a bit voilent. "I wish I could kill you, savor the sight" "...can turn a hand into a fist" or face. Love their songs anyway.
  • Anonymous from Dixon , CaThis song is one of their greatest, and this album is one of my personal favorites
