Now the Water's Somewhere Deeper

I Don't Cry Like I Used To

I watched my little girl walk down the aisle

Held my breath and tried to smile

Everyone around me had tears in their eyes

Mine just stayed inside

🎵 I don't cry like I used to

Used to flood the whole damn room

Now the water's somewhere deeper

I don't cry like I used to 🎵

My old man passed on a Tuesday noon

I sat alone in my old room

My mother asked me why I looked so dry

I said "Mama, so am I"

🎵 I don't cry like I used to

Used to flood the whole damn room

Now the water's somewhere deeper

I don't cry like I used to 🎵

I still feel it – don't you doubt

It just doesn't make its way out

Maybe I'm tough, maybe I'm numb

Maybe the river's too tired to run

🎵 I don't cry like I used to

Used to flood the whole damn room

Now the water's somewhere deeper

I don't cry… like I… used to… 🎵

🎹 Ding… ding-ding… ding…

(Fade with a lone harmonica note)
