Is this a place I can rest my poor head To gather my thoughts in sweet silence Is this a place where the feelings aren?t dead From an overexposure to violence And is this a place I can slowly face The only one I truly can know
These are tears from a long time ago I got these tears from a long time ago I need to cry 30 years or so These are tears from a long time ago
Oh darling, oh darling, say unto me Where have you been all my lifetime Well I have been swimmin? the seven sad seas Fair women have thrown me their lifelines And I just pulled them on to the water?s dark grin I?d have warned ?em but I didn?t know
These are tears from a long time ago I?ve got these tears from a long time ago I need to cry 30 years or so These are tears from a long time ago
Well, I?ve cried me a river, I?ve cried me a lake I?ve cried till the past nearly drowned me Tears for sad consequences Tears for mistakes But never these tears that surround me
Alone in this place with a lifetime to trace And a heartbeat that tells me it?s so I?ve got these tears from a long time ago These are tears from a long time ago And I need to cry 30 years or so These are tears from a long time ago These are tears from a long time ago I?ve got these tears from a long time ago
