Story Behind The Song
After several years of being apart, I became close friends with my cousin. She confessed to me that she had not cried for seven years, so I Cry for Her.
Song Description
The Mystic arrives in a place where baptism can come in the form of tears. The communion with the Ancient of Days may lead us to a place where we feel the sublime emotions of the eternal and cry for all of those who can not cry for themselves.

Lyrics
I Cry for You Phillip Powell
Verse:
I remember, when time began
When we first, came by here
Back, so long ago
I can still, hear you whisper, in my ear
You were, so beautiful
In our dreams, our hearts would soar
Then we learned, these wicked ways
And began, loves confusing Joy
Chorus:
I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you but you will never shed a tear
And I cry when your love grows near
Break:
Verse:
Did angels, put us here
Did we cry, at heavens door
Did angels, have a snicker and a grin
Knowing what love was for
Now what have, they done to us
In this journey, of broken hearts
Will we suffer, on to the end
For loves confusing joy
Chorus:
I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you and you will never shed a tear
And I cry when your love grows near
Yes I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you but you will never shed a tear
But I cry a single holy tear
Short Break:
Yes I cry for you when the river runs dry
My love for you in the corner of my eye
I cry for you but you will never shed a tear
But I cry a holy river of tears
