When You Cry

Fill up a barrel with those old gypsy tears
To tide you through the driest time of year
Read to your lover from your old book of lies
Cause no one wants to see you when you cry
No one wants to see you when you cry

Go out alone, just get out of the house
Find a tree and hide among its boughs
Fill your busy head with swarm of buzzing flies
Cause no one wants to see you when you cry
No one wants to see you when you cry

It's no wonder that you feel this way
I know it's hard to watch the sun go swinging by each day
Catch a cloud and lie under its shade
Let the rain erase all the tears from your face

Dance when there's music, laugh at each joke
Never let your mother know you're broke
Blame it on the weather every time that you sigh
Cause no one wants to see you when you cry
No one wants to see you when you cry

When you're feeling bad
Tip down your hat
In that hazy blue
Drain it down with booze
But whatever you do
You keep the worst of it for you
Cause no one wants to see you when you cry
No one wants to see you when you cry
