Better Than Ezra - Cry In The Sun Lyrics






You cleaned out your room and under your bed,
lay a picture long forgotten.
With a hand to your head,
you sigh out loud as your memory rushes over and
buries you.

A 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 timer slowed to a flash.
So alive, you listen to them when they say...

[To Chorus:]
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.

We'd dance and sing out,
and trace the moon,
as it crawled across the night sky.
And covered in dew, a lover's pact:
Well, here's to now and don't look back.
And oh, how I tried to heed the words written here.

[To Chorus:]
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.

[BRIDGE:]
For every one yeah
There's a person, place or time,
that brings you back and makes you feel alive.
Before your reason clouds your eyes,
When you could rule the world if you wanted to...
yeah.

Well, I hear you're living 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...

[To Chorus:]

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.

    In 1997 I was going through a divorce...he left me and our 2 year old son. This song was on my cassette tape in the car. I would listen and cry when I was driving alone. This song still takes me back to that sad, awful time.

    J.... H....

    @Jenn Hoy aww  yeah this song was great to listen during sad times, hope it helped get you through a tough time.

    J.... H....

    Wow. Similar scenario to myself. Only I would listen to it through the headphones of my walkman, laying on the thin mattress on the floor in the dark...wondering why I couldn't look and be like everyone else, still dwelling on the beating and bullying I received earlier in the day.

    J.... H....

    @Steve Celestino that scenario isn't similar in any way

    @Nancy Wranovsky. Was that at Laluna in Portland oregon? I saw them play there with ednaswap as the opening band. Great show, I don't think Laluna is still open anymore though.

    I seen Better than Ezra in 95. I took my 10 year old daughter Kelly - when we got out she had been wide eyed & silent the whole time. I said "What's wrong"? she said "I didn't think we'd be so close that I could touch them".
