Jeff Scott Soto Cry Me a River lyrics

i whisper softly but the words no longer say
so now we watch it gently drift away
blasted with the sigh, surrounded with tears
so upon this mountain,i rest my fears
brother,am i a fool?

you can cry me a river,cry me a river
i could be swimming in your sea when you cry me a river
i cried a river for you

what kind of fool am i to think that you'd stay?
i hold the cup against my lips and i taste
fills me with desire,fills me with hate
so upon my knees i'll wait

you can cry me a river,cry me a river

i could be swimming in your sea when you cry me a river
i cried a river for you

there are rivers to be filled
that doesn't change the way that i choose to live
all you said were lies
now you're only waiting for rivers to be cried

cry me a river cuz a cried one for you
there ain't no mountain i wouldn't climb for you
what kinda fool am i to think that you'll stay
i hold the cup cuz i miss the taste
