"You've Never Seen Me Cry" lyrics - BUTCH HANCOCK

The windmills and the water tanks
All stand on solid ground
The country mailman mutters as he motors into town
The sunlight came, the sunlight went
The stars came out to see
The way I laughed at the way I cried
At the way you treated me

The ocean babe is watered down
But these plains are high and dry
And though you've seen your share of dreams
You've never seen me cry

The windshield and the radio
Play sadly through the night
A crazy blazin' fallin' star
Just passed me on the right
Tail lights down the highway
Fade low and out of sight
That farmer's dog can only bark
But this cold north wind can bite

The ocean babe is watered down
But these plains are high and dry
And though you've seen your share of dreams
You've never seen me cry

The windbreaks and the watersheds
Are growin' old this year
The moon breaks in a brand new song
As I break in a tear
I've heard that all good things must end
They say what's done is done
And I guess I should be flying'
'Cause it's killin' me to run

The ocean babe is watered down
But these plains are high and dry
And though you've seen your share of dreams
You've never seen me cry
