Lyrics
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Come on back in the house and don’t cry
Come on back in the house
And get out from under that old cold sky
Don’t weep, don’t weep
Come on back in the house, little sheep
Come on back in the house
For a smile of welcome and go to sleep
Yes, I know how you feel
It’s that wild run away feeling in your heart
When you’ve had the wrong dream
And you wake with a start
Well, don’t cry, don’t cry
Come on back in the house and don’t cry
Come on back in the house
And get out from under that old cold sky
And don’t cry
