Cry on My Shoulder [Lawrence Gowan]

Cry on My Shoulder
Written by Lawrence Gowan & E. Schwartz
Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan

Little Jack Horner and Little Bo Peep
All of the Friends who once lulled you to sleep
Now its the pills instead of the sheep
Those days of wonder have all gone wrong
There's no returning, they're forever gone

Cry on my shoulder
Don't be afraid
This world grows colder
My love remains

Great expectations that all seemed to fail
Ships full or promise that never did sail
And every morning more bills in the mail
The daily problem, the constant fight
And your guardian angel's all booked up tonight

Cry on my shoulder
Don't be afraid
This world grows colder
But my love remains

And when it seems the darkest
You'll see the sun
And when the goings hardest
You know hope will come
Hope will come

Cry on my shoulder
Don't be afraid
This world grows colder
But my love remains
My love remains

Interpretation

When you were little, you fell asleep to nursery tales like Little Jack Horner and Little Bo Peep, but now you take pills when you can't sleep.  You've found life to be difficult, where opportunity seems to slip through your fingers, the bills keep piling up, and you are dealing with one problem after another, fighting with the one(s) you love the most. You can cry on my shoulder and don't need to be afraid because I still love you. I will be here for you through it all.
