RIVER OF TEARS

River of tears
Sorrow of love
All of these things that are so human
She knows them well enough
Anxious she sleeps
Alone in the night
Tossing and turning to the gunfire
In the pale moonlight

So come away my love
I’ll take you by the hand
The world’s more full of weeping
Than you can understand

Men talk of peace
All that she’s known
Is the peace that you can find
In the time that they take to reload
Justice is done
In heaven or hell
And what’s left we make for ourselves
She knows it well

So come away my love
I’ll take you by the hand
The world’s more full of weeping
Than you can understand

When the world’s gone mad
Who tries to understand
When it’s all so crazy
You can vanish out of hand

River of tears
Sorrow of man
All of these things that are so human
She tries to understand
There’ll be no sleep
No not tonight
Only the echo of the gunfire
In the pale moonlight

So come away my love
I’ll take you by the hand
The world’s more full of weeping
Than you can understand
The world’s more full of weeping
Than you can understand
