Far away where the soft winds blow
Far away from it all

There is a place you go
Where teardrops fall.


Far away in the stormy night
Far away and over the wall
You are there in the flickering light

Where teardrops fall.

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.


I've torn my clothes and I've drained the cup
Strippin' away at it all
Thinking of you when the sun comes up

Where teardrops fall.

By rivers of blindness

In love and with kindness
We could hold up a toast if we meet
To the cuttin' of fences

To sharpen the senses
That linger in the fireball heat.


Roses are red violets are blue
And times is beginning to crawl
I just might have to come to see you

Where teardrops fall.
