I have no idea why I wrote this other than to get the words out of my head so I could sleep. Somehow, I got the title to the song Cry Me a River by Arthur Hamilton © 1953 stuck in my head and over a few nights it evolved into this.
Cry me a river,
Deep and cold.
Cry me a river,
Wide and bold.
Cry me a river,
To wash my cares away.
Cry me a river,
Deep and cold.
Cry me a river,
Wide and bold.
Cry me a river,
To wash the blues away.
Cry me a river,
Deep and bold.
Cry me a river,
Wide and bold.
Cry me a river,
To carry me away.
Cry me a river,
Of silver and gold.
Cry me a river,
Wide and bold.
Cry me a river,
To bring me my love.
Cry me a river,
Of silver and gold.
Cry me a river,
Wide and bold.
Cry me a river,
To carry my joy.
Cry me a river,
Of silver and gold.
Cry me a river,
Wide and bold.
Cry me a river,
To carry me, my love,
And my joy.
