From the recording Gary Davis - Country Songs
Lyrics
A Lot Can be Said in a Cry
The Sound of an Owl, in the Evening Hush
Screen door creaks with a gentle push
I set my coffee down on the table there
The weight of her words hangs in the air
A lot can be said in a cry
A lot can be meant in a sigh
There’s not much truth in a lie
A lot can be said in a cry
The clock moves slow but my heart beats fast
Each glance we share feels like the last
She’s spoken words she’s never said before
A love once open, now closed like a door
A lot can be said in a cry
A lot can be meant in a sigh
There’s not much truth in a lie
A lot can be said in a cry
The silence speaks in an eerie tone
She now weeps like she’s all alone
No words are left, just empty sighs
With thoughts now of our last goodbye
A lot can be said in a cry
A lot can be meant in a sigh
There’s not much truth in a lie
A lot can be said in a cry
