Why Should I Cry For You -- Sting

Under the dog star sail Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall   North, north west, the Stones of Faroe
Under the Arctic fire  Over the seas of silence  Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining  But would north be true?

All colours bleed to red  Asleep on the ocean's bed  Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining  But would north be true?  Why should I?  Why should I
cry for you?   Dark angels follow me  Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,  For all my days remaining, What would be true?

Sometimes I see your face,  The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?  Why must I?  Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?  Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,  That, "I loved you in my fashion"?
What would be true?   Why should I cry for you?                                  (sing365)

Sting wrote this about dealing with the death of his father, who passed away in 1987. Sting felt that he never said the things that he wanted to tell him.        (songfacts)
