Harry Chapin - And The Baby Never Cries Lyrics
Well, I've sung out one more evening,and I'm wrung out, feeling beat.I walk on out the door once moreto an empty city street.A Good guitar will serve you wellwhen you're living in the lightsbut it's never going to warm youin the middle of the night.And so I come and go with her in whispers.Each and every time she says she dies.When she is reborn againI kiss her.And the baby never cries.She works in the daytime,she leave her baby with a friend.I sing every evening,I only see her now and then.I come to her at midnight,when 'bout half the world's asleep,and she puts me back together,in the hours before I leave.Her apartment is down on Perry Street,there's a tree in her backyard.Her old man had left her,he just took off for the coast,and I caught her on the reboundwhen I needed her the most.
