You Don’t Have to Cry
We've fallen into time
Left nature behind
It's all inside our mind
Paradise got left behind
Where we gonna go
Where we gonna stay
What we gonna do
How we gonna find a way to play
Astray in the universe
As we would doubtless be astray anywhere
We go from city to city
Where lights are pretty and
Beautiful people dance around everywhere
Writing poems that lash more fierce
Than the wind that's blowing the newspapers
Through the square, right here
Time is always just a thief
Disguise itself as grief
Until you've abandoned your belief
You, you don't have to yearn
Or wait for my return
Tears don't have to burn
Except in solitude
Astray in the universe
As we would doubtless be astray anywhere
You, you don't have to cry
You can dry your eyes
You don't have to cry
You can dry your eyes
You don't have to cry
You don't have to cry
Let me see you smile
