Trail of Tears

Not many people understand the way you swallow your pride

Or the way your passion’s restrained when the night falls all that time to bide

I think of you in that quiet house as i feel that i could weep

All alone with the sound of the crickets and the cats to purr you to sleep

When I’m not with you my heart aches 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’ve 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
