Cry out, Laura
make me hear
make it clear
all I thought that I knew
With my arms around you, Laura
I stood too close
to see what troubled you
I thought I knew you so well, Laura.....so well
You must free him
help him see
help him be
all he thought that he could
With his arms around you, Laura
he tried to crush the bad
and make things good
he thought he knew you so well, Laura
What a loss
what a prize
won’t you open his eyes
then lift up his head
Say what has to be said
just put your arms around him, Laura
tell him that there were no signs he should have read
he thought he knew you so well Laura
Hush now, Laura
we’ve let go
now we know
all was misunderstood
what became of it all...it was meant to be good
Without our arms around you, Laura
we get to love
you the way we should
you thought you knew yourself so well, Laura
