Tears

Tears have rolled down many good cheek
So when it comes down to your turn
Dont be afraid of admitting youre weak
'Cause these are the tears that you earnStrangers, new neighbors, theyll both understand
Who hasnt been there? Hold up your hand
Strangers, neighbors, none of them planned
Tears are the wage of this landWhen raindrop first fell to the ground
It seemed like the brightest idea
Even though teardrops were already around
No one yet linked them with tearRaindrop you notice when stood under trees
Pin-drop you can hear if you're down on your knees
But if teardrop anyone sees
Its time, gentlemen pleaseScars you know take longer to heal
Whilst tears youll not see again
So which do we try so hard to conceal
The ones that make fools of us menBricklayer, teacher, firefighter or vet
One thing in common, the hankies theyve wet
But hidden away in the bedroom I bet
Tears in public, not yetDrums have rolled for hundreds of years
Since weve blown one another to bits
Generals and soldiers still holding their ears
'Cause drumbeat and teardrop dont mixWhen teardrops fall everyone in the band
Makes out their musics slipped from the stand
Leaving the singer, his head in his hands
Public emotion, be damnedScars you know take longer to heal
Whilst tears youll not see again
So which do we try so hard to conceal
The ones that make fools of us menBricklayer, teacher, firefighter or vet
One thing in common, the hankies theyve wet
But hidden away in the bedroom I bet
Tears in public, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet
