“Sad To Be Cryin’”

“There’s a light in your window – there’s a letter in my hand – I’m gonna leave it on your doorstep – maybe I’ll be back again”

Darlin’ I hope you understand this letter, it ain’t the kind I usually write, but no one is watchin’ so I’ll be leavin’ tonight

Figure I’ll hop a train to Carolina, back to the place where I was born … oh I need to talk to Jesus, God how my spirit is torn

Ain’t it sad to be cryin’ when all ya’ wanna’ do is laugh, yes I know there is a balance and there is only one path

Look again my friend at the people who’ve come to the door … did we turn them away or leave them beggin’ for more

Never mind the early hour, never mind the pourin’ rain, I know that runnin’ ain’t the answer but I’m so wrong and so ashamed

I been livin’ a lie for years and years and it only caused me pain ‘cause I tried to be someone that I’m not…that’s why I’m ridin’ this train

It’s so sad to be cryin’ when all ya’ wanna’ do is laugh … oh I know there is a balance, but there is only one path

Look again my friend at the people who’ve come to your door

Did ya’ turn them away, or leave them beggin’ for more

Maybe tomorrow I’ll find the answer, maybe I’ll decide to stay … it don’t really matter ‘cause we all have a price we must pay

So darlin’ I hope you understand this letter, it ain’t the kind I usually write

But I know Heaven is real babe, and I’ve got to find it tonight
