Thirthy Years Of Tears Testo

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
