[Verse 1:]
I'm in the heart of winter
How I dread the spring
As the snow is falling down
Can't be locked forever
I keep remembering
Each day brings it closer now
[Chorus:]
(Cry, cry to the beat of the band)
He's gonna cry
Cry to the beat of the band
Break to the clap of the hands
[Verse 2:]
I left the church in ruins
He didn't see me go
The congregation stared ahead
And so I kept on running
And by now he'll know
Bet he wishes I was dead
[Pre-Chorus:]
Never have I felt so cruel
But something had to give
Killing this deceitful love's
The only way we'll live
[Chorus:]
He's gonna cry
Cry to the beat of the band
Break to the clap of the hands
You're gonna cry
Cry to the beat of the band
Sing 'til the bitter end
You're gonna cry to the beat of the band
[Bridge:]
Heavy is the head that wears the veil
Heavy is the head that wears the veil
Heavy is the head that wears the veil
Heavy is the head
[Chorus:]
You're gonna cry
Cry to the beat of the band
Break to the clap of the hands
I'm gonna keep on running
[Outro:]
Cry, cry to the beat of the band
Sing 'til the bitter end
You're gonna cry
