The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
I'm feeling sad and lonely
My baby's left me
Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need
Understanding and a little lovin'
A little love is all that I need
But misunderstanding and a no-good woman
They both cause my heart to bleed
Now every morning
The weeping willows weep for me
Now every morning baby
The weeping willows weep for me
The birds sing a little tune
I wish they'd sing my baby back home to me
The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Look at the tears roll down the street
I'm feeling sad and lonely
My baby's left me
