"One Tear" lyrics

Always a possibility
We could have made peace
Like turning water into wine
That was no small feat
Too many miles between us
Too many things we'd said
Too many failed attempts
To try to raise the dead

Baby, don't you
Oh baby, don't you
Baby, don't you shed one tear about it

Saw a black bird on a wooden fence
Staring up at the sun
Sitting there so long that he
Never saw the pointed gun
Too many times we'd fixed the dam
With water rushing over head
Too many times we'd saved the ship
And drown ourselves instead

Baby, don't you
Oh baby, don't you
Baby, don't you shed one tear about it

Baby, don't you
Oh baby, don't you
Baby, don't you go and shed one tear about it
