I heard a cry at night, I heard him slam the door There was a screech of tyres but he'll be back for sure Now through my apartment wall I can hear her sweet tears startin' to fall So cry, baby, wash out your heart Hang your life out to dry and make a new start Then came a telephone ring, it was a logical thing I left it for a while, I let her hang up and redial Then I picked up the telephone and I said, "Don't worry, honey No, no, no, no, no, no, you're not alone" So cry, baby, wash out your heart Hang your life out to dry and make a new start It was a tale unwound, I'd heard it all before And nothin' I could say would ever ease her pain Still I picked up the telephone and I said, "Don't worry, honey No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're not alone" So cry, baby, wash out your heart Hang your life out to dry and make a new start
