Well of Tears Even a newborn knows Even a newborn knows Even a newborn knows about the Well of tears He said don't cry, don't cry 'bout where I'm bound All my friends are gone and it's my turn now This is no show of being brave There are some things that tears can't change She said don't wait for me I might be gone a while Take care of your brother and smarten up child With the back of her hand she said now cut that out Before I give you something to cry about So cry little baby, cry little baby Cry like you've known a thousand years Cry like you've always known about the well of tears
