John Hiatt - Thirty Years Of Tears Lyrics
Is this a place I can rest my poor headTo gather my thoughts in sweet silenceIs this a place where the feelings arent deadFrom an overexposure to violenceAnd is this a place I can slowly faceThe only one I truly can knowThese are tears from a long time agoI got these tears from a long time agoI need to cry 30 years or soThese are tears from a long time agoOh darling, oh darling, say unto meWhere have you been all my lifetimeWell I have been swimmin the seven sad seasFair women have thrown me their lifelinesAnd I just pulled them on to the waters dark grinId have warned em but I didnt knowThese are tears from a long time agoIve got these tears from a long time agoI need to cry 30 years or soThese are tears from a long time agoWell, Ive cried me a river, Ive cried me a lakeIve cried till the past nearly drowned meTears for sad consequencesTears for mistakesBut never these tears that surround meAlone in this place with a lifetime to traceAnd a heartbeat that tells me its soIve got these tears from a long time agoThese are tears from a long time agoAnd I need to cry 30 years or soThese are tears from a long time agoThese are tears from a long time agoIve got these tears from a long time ago
