A Soul Too Tired to Cry - Eddie Dalton | Deep Emotional Soul Blues Music

Eddie Dalton – "A Soul Too Tired to Cry" From the soul blues collection of Eddie Dalton. Sometimes the pain runs so deep, the tears stop coming. "A Soul Too Tired to Cry" is a slow, cinematic soul blues song about grief that has settled in — not loud, not dramatic, just quiet and heavy. Like a coat still hanging by the door. Like a side of the bed you still sleep around. ───────────────────────────── LYRICS ───────────────────────────── The clock on the wall just keeps its sound Counting the shadows as they move around I poured the glass but I left it full Three years gone and the nights still pull I look in the mirror at a man I don't know With tired eyes and nowhere left to go I said her name out loud tonight Just to hear it fill the room It didn't help, it didn't hurt And that's the worst part of this gloom [Chorus] The rain against the window won't let up And I'm too far gone to even care enough No tears are falling, the well has run dry When the heart gets heavy, the throat goes tight Her coat is still hanging by the door I keep forgetting she don't live here no more It's a long, long road to the morning light For a soul too tired to cry... Mm, too tired to cry. The radio's playing our old song again The one she'd hum while the coffee brewed at ten I reached to turn it off, then let it play Some things you just stop running from one day The sadness don't cut like it used to now It just sits quiet, and I don't know how Like the hollow she left on her side of the bed That I still sleep around Like she ain't dead [Chorus] The rain against the window won't let up And I'm too far gone to even care enough No tears are falling, the well has run dry When the heart gets heavy, the throat goes tight Her coat is still hanging by the door I keep forgetting she don't live here no more It's a long, long road to the morning light For a soul too tired to cry. [Bridge] I used to pray the crying would come That something would break and the tears would run But grief don't always pour out like rain Sometimes it just stays Sits down inside you Moves in like a stranger That you stop trying to explain [Outro] Too tired to cry... Lay it down now, lay it down. Her coat by the door... Let the rain have it. Three years is a long time To keep the light on... Just a soul... Too tired... To cry. ───────────────────────────── TAGS ───────────────────────────── #SoulMusic #BluesMusic #EddleDalton #SoulBlues ───────────────────────────── ABOUT EDDIE DALTON ───────────────────────────── Eddie Dalton makes soul blues music rooted in real human feeling.
