I Want My Tears Back

I want my tears back



The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey

Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat



A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love

Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings



Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where's dear Alice knocking on the door

Where's the trapdoor that takes me there

Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare



Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for

Before the years take me

I wish to see

The lost in me



I want my tears back

I want my tears back now



A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone

A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa



Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where's dear Alice knocking on the door

Where's the trapdoor that takes me there

Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare



Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for

Before the years take me

I wish to see

The lost in me

[x2]



I want my tears back

I want my tears back now



Where is the wonder where's the awe

Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for

Before the years take me

I wish to see

The lost in me

[x2]



I want my tears back

I want my tears back now
