Trail of Tears

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
