[Verse 1]
Far away where the soft winds blow
Far away from it all
There is a place you go
Where teardrops fall
[Verse 2]
Far away in the stormy night
Far away and over the wall
You are there in the flickering light
Where teardrops fall
[Verse 3]
We banged the drum slowly
And played the fife lowly
You know the song in my heart
In the turning of twilight
In the shadows of moonlight
You can show me a new place to start
[Verse 4]
I've torn my clothes and I've drained the cup
Stripping away at it all
Thinking of you when the sun comes up
Where teardrops fall
[Verse 5]
By rivers of blindness
In love and with kindness
We could hold up a toast if we meet
To the cutting of fences
To sharpen the senses
That linger in the fireball heat
[Verse 6]
Roses are red, violets are blue
And time is beginning to crawl
I just might have to come see you
Where teardrops fall
