Back around 1983 I penned this one. Don't have a link/tho it's on my Freshman CD at CDBaby.com/TampaStan...

"CRIES IN THE NIGHT" (C) by Stan Good, BMI

There's a Man with a Badge & He's Feelin' Sad
'Cuz There's Nothing..He Can Do
But Watch a Young Man Die on The Lower East Side
From a Hollow-Point..22

There's a Woman in Chains, Hard to Explain, But
She Has a Whip in Her Hands
There's a Man on All Fours, Gotta Follow Her Course
Or Else..She'll Swing It Again

(CHORUS)
CRIES IN THE NIGHT...CRIES IN THE NIGHT
Some Cry From PLEASURE
Some Cry From PAIN and
SOME CRIES IN THE NIGHT
You Never HEAR FROM Again...

Hey, A Mugger-in-Rags needs A Cheap Nickel Bag
But..This Victim's Wary-&-Smart..
Mugger Makes One Mistake, It's the Last One He'll Make:
Hidden Knife Finds Its Way to His Heart

& A Gal on The Strip wants to Try One Last Trick
So This John Lets Her Into His Car
But The Price Isn't Right, so She Pays With Her Life
'Cuz She Wasn't Goin' That Far...

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Outside My Window, Something Shatters The Night
(Shatters The Night)
Outside My Window..Cries Pierce The Darkness..Faster Than Light

It's About 2AM and He Hears It Again
As The Doc Opens-Up Her Left Side
On a Cold Winter's Morn, New-Warm Baby is Born
Never Knowing Its Mother Just Died..

Now My Love Huddles-Near, Both in Passion & Fear
Inhibitions..Turn Into Delight
First The Warmth of Her Breath, Then The Folds of Her Dress
Help Make Me FORGET What's Outside...

(CHORUS)
Those CRIES IN THE NIGHT...CRIES IN THE NIGHT
Some Cry From PLEASURE
Some Cry From PAIN and
SOME CRIES IN THE NIGHT You Never HEAR FROM Again--

(TAG)
CRIES IN THE NIGHT..CRIES IN THE NIGHT...
Some Cry From PLEASURE..Some Cry From PAIN and
SOME CRIES IN THE NIGHT YOU NEVER HEAR FROM
AGAIN---

P.S. (This is the Best Song I'VE recorded. I'm pretty FOND of one I penned to Mark Kaufman/Steve Soucey's melody and ROBERT PICKENS sang)..THIS Last Year: "LET'S TAKE THE TIME"...at <http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=9293280&q=hi8ne> If, as-usual, my Computerese kinda Blows-It...just search Soundclick.com & Robert Pickens...& thar-she-be.
