THE CRY
©Billy O'Dwyer Bob 2002

The first time I seen your father cry
Was when he looked at you to say goodbye
I know it's not easy to let go
Only a father will ever know.

Chorus
This house will never be the same
It's hard on everyone to hear your name,
Although it's on the tip of every tongue.
Your father cried as the chapel bells were rung.

You were always very close, you could always talk
Hunt the fields together, for miles ye'd walk
Work away together, side by side
As we carried you away, your father cried.

Chorus

They say that time alone can heal
But time alone can't help the way we feel
Then came that dreaded moment all families fear
As we lowered you down, your father was in tears.

Chorus

A life lost so young, oh what a waste
In your hour of need, you used such haste
And the reason why your father had to cry
He never had the chance to say goodbye.

Chorus x 2
