A great song by John Hiatt with a pretty good video: Cry Love, from Walk On.

Youtube Video

A moment of steel
A dry-eyed house
Did he say goodbye to you
Or did you kick him out
I know you’re not afraid
To go alone
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

Now whatcha gonna do
When the planet shifts
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today

Chorus:
Cry love, cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry love, cry love

The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy, not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now whatcha gonna do
With the booze and the blush
Whatcha gonna do
When there’s no rush
Cop a little misery
At the corner store
Well one day that train of pain won’t stop no more

Chorus

Throwing up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love
Well what’s it for?
The heart will remember
The burning fire
The next time you feel the flame
Of desire

Chorus
Chorus

Cry love, cry love, cry love
