The Tears Of Hercules

So it goes, history shows Deserts must expand Camels sail-like wooden ships Like women on 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 remember everything and every windowpane Every word came back to me like I was Superman But then I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules There's a bus that leaves at 8:15 Another one at ten Should I climb aboard? Risk everything and ride it to the end? Watch the heels like rollercoasters Up against the sky And 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 last night In sadness, empty dies But then I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules I remember everything and every windowpane Every word came back to me ike I was Superman 'Til I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules Through the tears of Hercules
