01 Tear

I sat him down at the table

I pushed in his chair

I recorded the minute and hour

That he sat down there

I gave him one golden apple

And one lawful arrow

I said, "Show me how to win solitaire"

Oh, show me how to win solitaire

He studied the loaded figures

Took one in each hand

He wept for the truth in symbols

The law of his man

He wrote in a hidden language

And spelled the word anguish

I said, "Show me how to live through tomorrow"

He wrote, "Life is only borrowed"

He counts not, not, not one, not, not one

One, one, one, not 01 tear

Oh, to believe you now

He picked up the lawful arrow

And he threw it away

He picked up the golden apple

And he gave it to me

I can show you a love that's feral

A life that is bearable

So I'll show you how to win solitaire

Oh, show you how to win solitaire

He counts not, not, not 01 tear

Not, not one, not 01 tear

Not, not one, one, one, one, one, not 01 tear
