she turned her back on the sleeping town
as night turned into day
flash flood hit the road
swept her past away
turned her face into the wind
covered up her eyes
tears came just like rain
breaking all her ties

cry cry but you don't look back
you had to leave some time
cry cry don't look back

one day she meets someone
a woman out of line
she says stop a while
be a friend of mine
things you wanted to explain
she will not let you try
wind blow, come or go, but
never tell me why

too much pressure, too much fight to fight
too many brothers standing in your light
too many uncles … calling late at night…

hearts that stand upon the brink
longing to be free
you can choose your life
choose your family
you can choose your kind of love
let them criticise
tears came just like rain
don't let them blind your eyes

cry cry but you don't look back you had to leave some time cry cry don't look back
