when the day becomes the night
and darkness falls upon the light
i sit in bed and cry at home
and when i cry, i cry alone
if only somewhere there were found
a voice that heals and heart resound
to birth my love and pray my dream
and turn my ashes into everything
my lips of lonesome would rejoice
to speak my song and sing my voice
never would i on my own
weep and sigh and cry alone
but never have i met a friend
who loved my heart through rain and wind
who kissed my cheek and held my hand
and sat with me when i could not stand
so tears fall gently as i think
past my lids and down my cheek
all this pain is all i've known
i die inside and cry alone
when a word is spoken free
when a friend claims they love me
i do not chance to dare believe
for it may be that they deceive
you see, my friends have said the same
yet when i needed them they never came
so i sit in bed and cry at home
and when i cry, i cry alone
