"taking light into dark corners"

I Cry Alone

I Cry Alone

Park my van at night take the radio inside

Don’t want to give any encouragement to crime

The door is locked and the bolts slid one more time

And I cry alone

Tired of being strong it’s always been my shoulder

Doesn’t get any easier as I get older

Pull the duvet over my head as the night gets colder

And I cry alone, I cry alone

I cry alone, I cry alone

When the lights are low and I’m on my own

I cry alone

Tears soak my pillow now it’s half two or three

In the dead of the night my day starts haunting me

The shadows of my life won’t let me be

But I cry alone

Don’t tell me it’ll be alright ‘cos the footprint’s in my brain

Can’t wipe the images they run again and again

I close my eyes but I still see the pain

And I cry alone, I cry alone

I cry alone…

I know it was only yesterday

But it seems a thousand bad dreams away

I see the darkness of the damage done

Black night impatient for the risen Son

And as I’m crying you wipe away my tears

You come and you comfort me, push away my fears

Whisper healing words into fragile ears

And I cry alone, I cry alone

I cry alone…
