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
