Thirty Years Of Tears Lyrics

Is this a place, I can rest my poor head
To gather my thoughts in sweet silence
And 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

And these are tears from a long time ago
I've got these tears from a long time ago
And I need to cry, thirty years or so
These are tears from a long time ago

Oh darling, oh darling, you 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 in 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
And I need to cry, thirty years or so
These are tears from a long time ago

Well, I?ve cried me a river, I?ve cried me a lake
Well, 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
Now a heartbeat that tells me it?s so

Well, I?ve got these tears from a long time ago
And these are tears from a long time ago
And I need to cry, thirty 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
