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 arent 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 waters dark grin
Id have warned em but i didnt know

These are tears from a long time ago
Ive 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, ive cried me a river, ive cried me a lake
Well, ive 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 its so

Well, ive 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
Ive got these tears from a long time ago
