Chris De Burgh - The Last Time I Cried Lyrics






The last time I cried, I was sitting home,
And it was deep in the night,
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
Giving all that I had, to take them away,
Giving all that I had, to make them pay;

The last time I cried, I could see the people,
Long ago in the rain,
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
And the word is the same, for a thousand years,

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me;

The last time I cried, I could not believe it,
When I held on a face,
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain,
It was the face of a child, my child here asleep,
And the soldier who smiled, the man was me,

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me?

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,

The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time.

Chris De Burgh The Last Time I Cried Comments
  1. m.... u....

    whats the name of the movie?

  2. K.... K....

    Nostalgy melody

  3. G.... M....

    Who is here 2019?

  4. R.... B....

    Any shame western civilisation colonisation, then W1&2, invasion into Middle East for oil with alliances of Elite

    R.... B....

    A bad workman quarrels with tools. When you are vulnerable and lack community sense, you are exposed to superior forces to be attacked. Natural process. So the first principle is to strengthen yourself through unity and honour. No blame game. Middle East's history is full of cruelty under idiot rulers.

  5. s.... m....

    إلتقى إمام مع قسيس مسيحي مستعرب على هامش إحدى الملتقيات الفكرية حول التقريب بين الأديان و كان الإمام يرى بأنه لا جدوى من هذه اللقاءات لأن هناك خلافات عميقة لا يُمكن حلها !!! فدار بينهما الحوار التالي :
    الإمام : كلنا يعلم بأن المسيحين يقولون على المسيح بأنه ربهم !!!
    القسيس : نعم و ماذا بعد !!!
    الإمام : و ماذا تقول عن الله ؟؟؟
    فقال القسيس : بالطبع هو ربي !!!
    فقال الإمام : معنى كلامك أن ربك هو المسيح أو الله أليس كذلك !!!
    القسيس : لا !!! و لكن ربي هو المسيح أو من دون رب مع الله !!! فالمسيحيين قالوا على المسيح أنه ربهم !!! و إبراهيم قال على الشمس هذا ربي !!! و يوسف قال لصاحبيه في السجن أما أحدكما فيسقي ربه خمرا !!!
    الإمام : و لكن كل المسيحيين يقولون على المسيح أنه إبن الله !!!
    القسيس : و إذا قلنا بأنه إبن الربّ و أن هناك من تعمّد أن يجعل الربّ هو الله لكي يقولون عن جهل بأنه إبن الله فهل سيُزيل هذا الخلاف بيننا !!!

    hooked on chris de burgh since early 80s, spanish train and other stories, beautiful piece of music writing

  7. V.... R....

    Chris DeBurgh is a legendary story teller and no one I can think of, is at his level of making you think and feel the passion.

  8. J.... B....

    Thank you for downloading this beautiful painful song, it keeps me grounded and reminds me of the bare truth, how cruel we can be to one another. God how can these people follow a megalomaniac with a program of genocide , but don't we see those symptoms in Trump and his supporters.

    Good Friday 2017: Eli, Eli, lama asabtani?

  60. B.... N....

    The songs are very clear
    as his voice is too
    as music is too.

  61. J.... C....

    Is the lyrics telling us some story about world war II and the Jewish?
    Sorry for my English abilities.

    J.... C....

    I think that your question _does_ deserve an answer.
    As far as I can tell, NO, they (the lyrics) don't tell any story about the WWII and/or the Jewish.
    But... hold your horses!
    The Jewish have _always_ taken each and every opportunity to step in and call it "theirs"... Why not try to squeeze even more "guilt" from whoever there might be, regardless of anything, if everybody trembles of fear of being labelled "antisemitic"? That's the new "politically correct", so take care...
    It doesn't matter that the Jews sent Jesus to crucifixion... they're the "chosen people" anyhow, so now they have the guts to even use this song about Jesus to cast themselves as "righteous" victims...
    And, by the way, your "English abilities" are quite fine.

    J.... C....

    The scene between 2:04 and 2:22 looks more like WW I, not WW II.

  62. a.... s....

    woooooooow

  63. l.... r....

    que pelicula es esa?

  64. v.... t....

    oh lord you have forsaken me

    v.... t....

    No,the satanic heathens have forsaken Him.

  65. l.... f....

    the last scene were mary the imaculatw holding her son is just so emotional

  66. J.... S....

    En route for Treblinka, 750,000 plus souls perished there.

    J.... S....

    That's a lie.

    J.... S....

    true I am sorry to say Holfe telegram.

    This is an amazing song...so much passion

  75. D.... ....

    I used to love CdB as a youth but I was completely lost when he betrayed his wife in such a significant way. I see his wife has since had another child with him and I was stunned. Sorry CdB fans this just makes me feel sick despite his great voice. I at least expected a repentace song but no. Please tell me Danny McBride no longer plays lead guitar because for me, CdB is an embarrasment to human kind. I can watch the crusader and anything pre-betryal but not LIR. Sorry CdB, your wife forgave you, some of your fans did but without a public apology, I can't, I wish I could :(

    D.... ....

    lmao, you are so totally full of yourself! Chris needs to apologize in public? Why? He did nothing to you. It is an issue between him and his wife. She is the one who decides if it is a deal breaker or not. Get off your high horse and get on with life!

    D.... ....

    Dormousey Oh you feel so betrayed? You wouldnt pick up Jesus if he was hitchhiking. You fucking hypocrite.
