Too Many Tears

(álbum: Into The Woods - 1987)

Let's go, oh yeah
Too many tears, alright

Now, as you know, it's your time on this Earth
From a rock in the cradle to a ride in the hearse
We keep moving upward toward everything free
Kindly look downward the more you'll see me
I've had six years of luck, I've had six on the line
And I've poured myself out like an old bitter wine
I've seen much of nothing and nothing's the gain
Thrown on my backside I don't know my name

There's too many tears, too many tears
Too many people in too many years
Some tears of laughter, some tears of pain
Break like a fever and fall like the rain
(Rain rain rain)

Points on the map, tears line the way
I've seen all your pretty things and oh it's a shame
There's been much confusion with too many hurt
I feel my words dying down in the dirt
I've had lies in my head, there been lies in my heart
I've been tortured by this riddle and I don't know how to stop
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and my mind starts to click
So do what you must do and you best do it quick

There's too many tears, too many tears
Too many people in too many years
Some tears of laughter, some tears of pain
Break like a fever and fall like the rain
(Rain rain rain)

Oh doctor, oh doctor, my world's in your hands
I feel like I'm dying and boy, I need a plan
Sister, sweet sister, there's blood on my lips
Why does it feel like this room's doing flips?
The rains come on time, it's clear, I can tell
I've seen your work everywhere and there's mercy in hell
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and again it all comes down
Do you see your life merging with these poor souls on the ground?

There's too many tears, too many tears
Too many people in too many years
Some tears of laughter, some tears of pain (too many tears, too many tears)
Break like a fever and fall like the rain

Too many tears, too many tears
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Too many tears, too many tears
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Too many tears, too many tears
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Too many tears, too many tears (many tears)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
