john hiatt – thirty years of tears lyrics
is this a place i can rest my poor head
to gather my thoughts in sweet silence
is this a place where the feelings aren’t dead
from an overexposure to violence
and is this a place i can slowly face
the only one i truly can know
these are tears from a long time ago
i got these tears from a long time ago
i need to cry 30 years or so
these are tears from a long time ago
oh darling, oh darling, say unto me
where have you been all my lifetime
well i have been swimmin’ the seven sad seas
fair women have thrown me their lifelines
and i just pulled them on to the water’s dark grin
i’d have warned ’em but i didn’t know
these are tears from a long time ago
i’ve got these tears from a long time ago
i need to cry 30 years or so
these are tears from a long time ago
well, i’ve cried me a river, i’ve cried me a lake
i’ve cried till the past nearly drowned me
tears for sad consequences
tears for mistakes
but never these tears that surround me
alone in this place with a lifetime to trace
and a heartbeat that tells me it’s so
i’ve got these tears from a long time ago
these are tears from a long time ago
and i need to cry 30 years or so
these are tears from a long time ago
these are tears from a long time ago
i’ve got these tears from a long time ago
