Lyrics
The Ocean Makes Her Cry
Words and Music: Regan L. Barger
Barger Publishing {ASCAP} 2002
Photographs she takes each day
Pictures explain what her words couldn?t say
Beauty?s deceptive and death is a trip
Down down down she goes
Hills and valleys that?s all she knows
Escape is so easy
Hope is a gift
Tara says, ?The world?s so full of sadness?
Tara says The Ocean Makes Her Cry
Tara?s gonna get away from all this madness
She asked me ?baby make me smile?
I couldn?t even try
On her arms are three tattoos
One is for peace one is for truth
One is a symbol she says is a trick
Tara says ?I need to pray?
Isn?t sure what God wants her to say
He?s got to be angry
If he even exists
Tara says, ?The world?s so full of sadness?
Tara says The Ocean Makes Her Cry
Tara?s gonna get away from all this madness
She asked me ?baby make me smile?
I couldn?t even try
Tara doesn?t judge the way I am
Inside my heart she?ll always be my friend
Tara says that, ?life is a bad dream?
When she wakes up then she will get clean
Tara says, ?The world?s so full of sadness?
Tara says The Ocean Makes Her Smile
Tara?s gonna get away from all this madness
She asked me ?baby make me cry?
I couldn?t even try
Tara says that, ?life is a bad dream?
When she wakes up then she will get clean
