Tear Stained Eye

(album: Trace - 1995)

Walking down Main Street
Getting to know the concrete
Looking for a purpose from a neon sign
I would meet you anywhere
The western sun meets the air
We'll hit the road, never looking behind

Can you deny, there's nothing greater
Nothing more than the traveling hands of time?
Saint Genevieve can hold back the water
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye

Seeing traces
Of the scars that came before
Hitting the pavement still asking for more
When the hours don't move along
Worn out wood and familiar songs
To hear your voice is not enough, it's more than a shame

Can you deny, there's nothing greater
Nothing more than the traveling hands of time?
Saint Genevieve can hold back the water
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye

Like the man said
Rode hard and put away wet
Throw away the bad news, and put it to rest
If learning is living
And the truth is a state of mind
You'll find it's better at the end of the line

Can you deny, there's nothing greater
Nothing more than the traveling hands of time?
Saint Genevieve can hold back the water
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye

Sainte Genevieve can hold back the water
But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye
