Jim White The Wound That Never Heals Letras:
Long about an hour before sunrise she drags his
body down to the edge of the swollen river wrapped
in a red velvet curtain stolen from the movie
theater where she works. Quiet as a whisper, under
the stanchions of a washed-out bridge she cuts him
loose...and watches as the flood waters spin him
around once, then carry him away. Then she removes
the golden ring upon her finger...and she throws
it in. And I wonder; Baby why don't you cry? Baby
why don't you... Baby why don't you cry? Three
days later in a bar in southern Mississippi she
meets a man by the name of Charles Lee. She
introduces herself to him as "Lee
Charles" "What a coincidence." he
says...and one week later they are married. He

wakes up one night six months down the line to
find her staring at him in the oddest way. When he
says, "Honey, what's wrong?" she says,
"Oh nothing dear...except that tears are a
stupid trick of God." And by the time they
find his body six weeks later... Well hell, she's
a thousand miles away. And I wonder; Baby why
don't you cry? Baby why don't you... Baby why
don't you cry? She runs from devils. She runs from
angels. She runs from the ghost of her father and
five different uncles. Blinded by their memory,
seared by their pain, she'd like to kill 'em
all...then kill 'em all again. She don't think
much about what she's done or the funny feelings
that she feels. No, she don't. To her it's just a
condition she picked up as a child... a little
thing she calls, "the wound that never
heals", she calls it, "the wound that
never heals" And I wonder; Baby why don't you
cry? Baby why don't you... Baby why don't you cry?
