"Someone Is Crying" lyrics - TONY JOE WHITE

The fire came down from the mountain
The people watched their village go up in flames
And the rain never came

[Chorus:]
Does anyone know someone is crying?
Is there no concern?
There's so many facing the night without shelter
And there's nothing left to them

Daylight falls on the desert
The stallion has run with the herd
And the birds circled above

[Chorus:]
Does anyone know someone is crying?
Their men are loading their guns
And the shots keep ringing out like fire
And there's no where left to run

The sun is falling in the ocean
Turning the sand into pearls
And the girl watches on

[Chorus:]
No one will know she is crying
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and goes until the sun sets
She has watched these shores for weeks

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
Does anyone know someone is crying?
The salt mixes with her tears
She turns away and goes until the sun sets
She has watched these shores for weeks
