Tears of Hercules

So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand There's sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again I remembered everything and every window pane Every word came back to me and I was superman But then I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Herculesz There's a bus that leaves at 8: 15 and another one at ten Should I climb aboard, risk everything, and ride it to the end? Watch the hills like roller coasters up against the sky Wish that you were here by me, so close that I could die You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive But I got over you tonight inside this empty dive Till I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules I remembered everything and every window pane Every word came back to me and I was superman again Till I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules
