Teardrops

Once again Teardrops are racing down Engraving the lines of life The teardrops are racing down again Oh, sometimes love's like a thistledown It flies away at times One tear then bring me back down Swirling winds, sails torn to pieces Leading the old ghost love boat aground Can you see me? Time can't make weakness a power Turning the old ghost love boat around Sewing the sails I'm chasing the storm's sweet embrace The night has a beautiful face Stranger senses, numb my senses May I taste your tears? Salt can make my heart grow harder How come I always find myself taking your place? Again Teardrops are racing down Engraving the lines of life The sails lay torn on the ground And I'm asking Why (why) me? (Me?) Help (help) me (me) Roses dried, hung on the ceiling Maybe one last time, tales I'm a-heaving Engraving the words on skin, wood and steel My old ghost love boat plows the sea Oh, sweet embrace The night has a beautiful face Stranger senses, numb my senses May I taste one tear? One more rose cut, dead and dry on the ground Again Teardrops are racing down Engraving the lines of life The sails lay torn on the ground And I'm asking why again (why again) Dry roses keep me afloat I'm seeking my old ghost love boat Waiting here on the shoals of love never found
