You Mock Me And I Cry

Wherever and with whomever you are You laugh and you make fun of me I cry: I am still alive; but I don't die It was yesterday that I was rejected by death I am a man who hopes and dreams Thank god, I pray before the sun rises You laugh like a naughty cat and I cry Like the neighbor's dog stranded outside I cry like April showers. I'm not wrong I resign myself and I'm not afraid Wherever and with whomever you are I don't care, I don't give a crap about the silk jersey I am pushing my cart to eternity To forget you forever on the booby-trapped road.
