Every Tear a Mother Cries- Honk! and Honk! Jr. Lyrics

Ida:

EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND

I EXPECT YOU TO APPEAR

EVERYONE MAY CALL MY NAME

BUT IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT I HEAR

EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU'RE GONE

IS A MOMENT DARK AND GRAY

EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY

(Get away from me. Go on, all of you!)

EVERY DAY WILL SEEM TO BE

MORE EMPTY THAN THE LAST

EVERYWHERE THE SUN ONCE SHONE

A SHADOW HAS BEEN CAST

EVERY MOMENT THAT YOU'RE GONE

IS A MOMENT DARK AND GRAY,

EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY.

Drake:

(But Ida, you can’t just leave me with the other four!)

Ida:

(You’ll manage, Drake. My mind is made up.)

Drake:

(But you’re wasting your time, love, you know you are. Apart from which, it’s dangerous to go wandering off beyond the Churchyard at this time of year.)

Ida:

(I won’t be satisfied until I find the truth. Try to understand, dear. A mother knows.)

Drake:

(Well, here, you’d better take the cell phone.)

Ida:

EVERY MOMENT SEEMS AN HOUR,

EVERY HOUR LASTS A DAY,

EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY.

EVERY TEAR A MOTHER CRIES IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHED AWAY.
