Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back Lyrics
I want my tears back!The treetops, the chimneysThe snowbed stories, winter greyWildflowers, those meadowsOf heaven, wind in the wheatA railroad across watersThe scent of grandfatherly loveBlue bayous, DecembersMoon through a dragonfly's wingsWhere is the wonder, where's the awe?Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?Where the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh HareWhere is the wonder, where's the awe?Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?Before the years take meI wish to see the lost in meI want my tears back!I want my tears back now!A ballet on a groveStill growing young all aloneA rag doll, a best friendThe voice of Mary Costa Where is the wonder, where's the awe?Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?Where the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh HareWhere is the wonder, where's the awe?Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?Before the years take meI wish to see the lost in meI want my tears back!I want my tears back now!
