Cross To Bear

You ran away with your conscience clear There was a, a red flag waving in my ear saying "Stay away, you've got something to fear" Well why did I not choose to hear? Well I am through with suffering Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring I can sing, I can dance but I can't make this feeling cease 'Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease And we all got our cross to bear And our Star of David, our dread locked hair And oh yeah baby, I still care And if you need some help you know I'll always be there Well it's been a, a strange year, you've been a very bad dog As my fire went out, you'd put on another log But it was worth never having any peace And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease And we all got our cross to bear And our Star of David, our dread locked hair And oh yeah baby, I still care And if you need some help you know that I'll still be there Some nights I thought I'd cry forever I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar But it was worth always scraping my knees And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease You' were there You know I, I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve But I'm, I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend Gonna live at my dreams even if they kill me in the end And we all got our cross to bear And our Star of David, our dread locked hair And oh yeah baby, I still care and I still love you
