Not many people understand
The way you swallow your pride
Or the way your passenger's drained
When the night falls all that time abide
I think of you in that quiet house
As I feel that I could weep
All alone with just the sound
Of the crickets and the cats to put you to sleep
When I'm not with you
My heartaches in pain
Having to leave like this I feel so to blame
Not far away whenever we're apart
There's a trail of tears leading back to your heart
Not many people understand
How true love transcends desire
The same people say that a man
Who claims fidelity's a liar
I spent years just searching for the truth
To end up right back at the start
Still searching in solitude
For the secret of a woman's heart
I lie awake the cooling moon brings me relief
I dream of you obsessed with the thoughts of a thief
Not far away whenever we're apart
There's a trail of tears leading back to your heart
Waiting for me with never a complaint
Having to live with me with the patience of a saint
Not far away whenever we're apart
There's a trail of tears leading back to your heart
There's a trail of tears leading back to your heart
There's a trail of tears whenever we're apart
