Had To Cry Today {Winwood}
Alamo Music, Inc. 1969
It's already written that today will be one to remember
Come down off your throne
Well all right, so I've been foolish
I have finally found a way to live
Following the shadow of the sky
Do right, use your head
I would rather see you, sleeping in the ground
Well, I give you all my money, little girl, everything I own

The feeling is the same as being outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes
While I listen
You say you can't reach me, but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
And I missed you there
Its already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling is the same as being outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes
While I listen
You say you can't reach me, but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
Had to cry today..... (repeats multiple times)

And leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason
I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own
And leave your money at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason
I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
I'm near the end, and I just ain't got the time
Oh, and I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still, I can't find my way home
And, I ain't done nothing wrong
But, I can't find my way home

Well all right, let the people know
'Bout the dreams and wishes that you dream
In the night when lights are low
Well all right, Well all right
You know we'll live and love with all our might
Well all right, Well all right
You know our lifetime of love will be all right
Well all right, so I'm not working
Well all right, let the people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way
Well all right, Well all right
You know we'll live and love with all our might
Well all right, Well all right
You know our lifetime love will be all right
Well all right, so I've been foolish
Well all right, let the people know
'Bout the dreams and wishes that you dream
In the night when lights are low
Well all right, Well all right
You know we'll live and love with all our might
Well all right, Well all right
You know our lifetime love will be all right

Just like I never could before
I know that I don't have much to give
But I can open up the door
Everbody knows the secret
Everybody knows the score yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
I have finally found a way to live
In the colour of the Lord
I have finally found a place to live
Just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give
But soon I'll open any door
Everbody knows the secret
Everybody knows the score
I have finally found a place to live, ohhh
In the presence of the Lord
Ahhhhh....
In the presence of the Lord
Ohhhhh....
I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before
And, I'm giving all I've got to give
But I can open any door
Everybody knows the story;
I said, everybody knows the score
I have finally found a way to live
In the colour of the Lord
In the colour of the Lord

Or are they only figments of my eyes
Feeling close to when the race is run
Waiting in our boats to set sail
The sea of joy
Once the door swings open into space
I'm already waiting in disguise
Or, is it just a thorn between my eyes
Waiting in our boats to set sail
The sea of joy
Having trouble coming through
This concrete blocks my view

Everybody must be fed
Get together, break your bread
Yes together, that's what I said
Do what you like
Don't fight......
Don't fight......
Dont fight, use your head
It's alright every night
Do what you like
That's what I said
Everybody must be fed
Do what you like
Open your eyes
Realise you're not dead
Take a look
At an open book
Do what you like
That's what I said
Do what you like
Do right, use your head
Everybody must be fed
Get together, break some bread
Yes together, that's what I said
Do what you like
Open your eyes
Use your head
Realise that you're not dead
Take a look
At an open book
Let it cook
That's what I said
Do what you like

I would rather see you, sleeping in the ground
You stick around here, why don'chya put me down
Well, I give you all my money, little girl, everything I own
You know, I give you all my money, little girl, everything I own
Well, someday I'm gonna get lucky, then down the road you know I'm gone....

Well, I would rather see you sleeping in the ground
I would rather see you sleeping in the ground
Well, stick around here, I'll put you down.
You know, I give you all my money, little girl, everything I own
Well, someday I'm gonna get lucky, then down the road you know I'm gone....
