[ with Emmylou Harris ]

I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'

That it won't be long before it's crying time



Oh they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder

And that tears are only rain to make love grow

Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger

If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me

I can see that far away look in your eyes

I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'

That it won't be long before it's crying time



Oh you say that you found someone you love better

That's the way it's happened every time before

And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow

Crying time will start when you walk out the door

Oh it's crying time again...

I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'

That it won't be long before it's crying time
