Del Amitri Sleep Instead Of Teardrops
Cry
Cry out your eyes forever
It wont go away
I
I’m just a dumb observer
It’s so stupid what I said
Like everyone else will do
I’m gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you’re gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
An so
Nobody lives forever
The crassest of clichés
Like time
Time is the greatest healer
But it’s a murderer to do
Like everyone else will do
I’m gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you’re gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
You know my holding you wont change, anything
I cant stop this whole charade, continuing
As each consoling kiss remains, on your face, like a stain
So cry
Cry out those tears an let them
Succumb to gravity
An try
Try as I might I’ll never
Fill that vacancy
Like everyone else will do
I’m gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you’re gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
Someday you’re gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
