about

"This song was inspired by John and Anna Bates (characters on Downton Abbey). I had come up with the melody for the choruses and verses but needed help on the bridge of the song. Maegan saved the day by writing the bridge and changing some chords around. The song is about a love affair filled with drama with a happy ending. It was also the first song that we recorded at Dockside. It has the true spirit of Sweet Cecilia's musical journey up to this point. " ~ Laura

"This may be my favorite track on the record. It has a such a haunting and mysterious yet sweet sound. I love it mostly because it embodies the true spirit of Sweet Cecilia's musical journey up to this point. Callie and I on bass and drums.....it gives that undeniable "Sweet Cecilia" sound that is clearly heard at our live shows." ~ Maegan

lyrics

BATES’ SONG “CRY FOR YOU” (MAEGAN BERARD, LAURA HUVAL 2017)
Verse 1
Come to me sweetheart
In your loving arms is where I’ll stay
Be with me forever, promise today…. And he cried AYE……..
Verse 2
They came and took you away
Accused of a crime they made you pay
All you could hear was my cry that day…and I cried I Yaille
Bridge
Didn’t you know that I always know, if somebody did you wrong. I’m stuck in here without
here, But I won’t be lonely for too long
Verse 3
They opened up the prison gates
And I finally saw your face
Free from disgrace…And I sighed ahhh..
