Why Should I Cry For You?

  • Under the dog star sail
    Over the reefs of moonshine
    Under the skies of fall
    North, north west, the stones of Faroe

    Under the Arctic fire
    Over the seas of silence
    Hauling on frozen ropes
    For all my days remaining
    But would north be true?

    All colors bleed to red
    Asleep on the ocean's bed
    Drifting on empty seas
    For all my days remaining

    But would north be true?
    Why should I?
    Why should I cry for you?
    Dark angels follow me
    Over a godless sea
    Mountains of endless falling,
    For all my days remaining,

    What would be true?
    Sometimes I see your face,
    The stars seem to lose their place
    Why must I think of you?
    Why must I?
    Why should I?
    Why should I cry for you?
    Why would you want me to?
    And what would it mean to say,
    That, 'I loved you in my fashion'?

    What would be true?
    Why should I?
    Why should I cry for you? Writer/s: GORDON SUMNER
