The Last Time I Cried Lyrics

Artist: Chris De Burgh

Album: High on Emotion - Live from Dublin

Title: The Last Time I cried

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,

To make them pay.

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,

You have forsaken me.

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 why

Have You forsaken me ?

The last time.
