Sister cry, what you needed 
Bought yourself things you could not use 
Could be some man will come along and claim you 
Could be you'll wind up in another town. 

Sister cry, count the stars. 
Is many in the sky that passed you by. 
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes. 
Somehow changes made won't belong to you. 

Someone come along and carry you down 
And you called my name 
I was so hungry then 
Someone come along and carry you down 
You could not see you 
Someone come along and lay you down 
And you don't talk at all 
Its the hardest way 
Someone come along and carry you down 

Sister cry, been mistreated. 
Doesn't mean someone won't let you in. 
Could be some man will come along and claim you 
Could be you'll wind up in another down 

This devils knocking at your door 
But I could lead them all astray 
Just don't matter what people say 

Sister cry, count the stars. 
Is many in the sky that passed you by. 
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes. 
Somehow changes made won't belong to you. 
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes. 
Somehow changes made won't belong to you.
