Il testo della The wound that never heals

Long about an hour before sunrise
She drags his body down
To the edge of the swollen river
Wrapped in a red velvet curtain

Stolen from the movie theater
Where she works
Quiet as a whisper under the stanchions of a
Washed out bridge she cuts him loose

And watches as the flood waters spin him
Around once then carry him away
Then she removes the golden ring
Upon her finger she throws it in

And i wonder baby why don't you cry?
Baby why don't you?
Baby why don't you cry?

And i wonder baby why don't you cry?
Baby why don't you?
Baby why don't you cry?
Aah haa yea yea

Three days later in a bar in southern mississippi
She meets a man by the name of charles lee
(charles lee)
She introduces herself to him as "lee charles"
What a coincidence he says and a week later
They get married he wakes up one night six months
Down the line to find her staring at him in the oddest way
When he says "honey, what's wrong?" she says
"oh nothing dear except that
Tears are a stupid trick of god"
And by the time they find his body
Six weeks later well hell
She's a thousand miles away

And i wonder baby why don't you cry?
Baby why don't you
Baby why don't you cry?

I wonder baby why don't you cry?
Baby why don't you
Baby why don't you cry?
Ha haa yea yea ha haa

She runs from devils she runs from angels
She runs from the ghost of her father
And five different uncles blinded by their
Memories, seared by their pain
She'd like to kill 'em all then kill 'em all again

She don't think much about what she's done
Or the funny feelings that she feels no, she don't
To her it's just a condition she picked up as a child
A little thing she calls, the wound that never heals,
She calls it, the wound that never heals

And i wonder baby why don't you cry?
Baby why don't you
Baby why don't you cry?

I wonder baby why don't you cry?
Baby why don't you
Baby why don't you cry?
(cry, cry)
