Someone Else’s Tears
You feel familiarBut I’m not sure I know your nameI don’t know why I’m telling you this story todayA whisper on the breezeI heard a rustle in the treesI need to know and maybe you’ll explain
Why I can’t stop cryingAnd nothing is as it appearsI can’t stop cryingBut I’m crying someone else’s tearsSomeone else’s tearsThe grapes are gatheredThe wine is pressedAnd despite the rain it’s been a good yearTo walk these fields againIn the chapel of our youth we bowed down to beauty and truthI see no reason but maybe you’ll explain
Why I can’t stop cryingBut I’m crying someone else’s tearsSomeone else’s tears
The red house that we built…It’s still standing… proudThe glasses that we filled…Let’s raise them nowIt might be rainingBut the sun is gonna burst through the cloudsThe storm it can be stilled…Let’s go out…
But I can’t stop cryingAs I’m crashing through the gearsI can’t stop cryingBut I’m crying someone else’s tearsSomeone else’s tears
I can’t stop lyingHave I been lying all these years?I can’t stop tryingTo chase away her fearsI can’t stop crying, crying,Someone else’s tears
