I Felt Like Crying, I Cried All Night

I walked the ocean's shore,
Counted every grain of sand
As hard as I tried to keep it inside
You just slipped through my hands
When you've tried your best to make it alright,
I felt like crying, I cried all night

I heard the callers tune,
Marched in the back of the band,
Did all I knew to keep my notes true,
I just didn't fit your plan
When you want for things beyond your sight,
I felt like crying, I cried all night

I kissed the soft of your lips,
And you called me your woman,
You know what I mean,
When we're lost in between I don't know how it began
When you feel your love just pass you by,
I felt like crying, I cried all night

Tears they won't change,
Won't change what's been done,
They're only changing me
When it's all over said and done, surely then I will see

I was taken from your rib,
Held me in the firm of your hand,
Some little things took you far from me,
I just don't understand
When you search yourself for a heart contrite
I felt like crying,
I felt like crying
I felt like crying
I cried all night
