Last Night She Cried

LAST NIGHT SHE CRIED - Written by Carroll Bryant

Last night, she cried

And I didn’t even ask her why

When she needed me the most

I left just like a ghost

Fading into the night

Yesterday she said

Her heart was all and everything but dead

When she reached out for my hand

My mind didn’t understand

Lingering there instead

There was a moment to the scene

It was all just standing there for me to believe

I froze like a stone of ice

Looking deep into her eyes

Looking deep into a dream

Tomorrow is the time

When I think I know what she will find

Nothing is all you gain

When you throw it all away

A picture so sublime

There was a reason to discard

The feelings of the girl who made me hard

I wilted like a weed

In search of what I need

Like Napoleon Bonaparte

There was the hope of season two

Before the curtain fell right down on you

It’s a road to lay the blame

Like on a runaway train

And you don’t know what to do

Last night, she cried

And I didn’t even ask her why

When she needed me the most

I left just like a ghost

Fading into the night

If I was what she needed least

I could have been a better beast

I would have gave it another try

And last night, she cried
