Tears Are In Your Eyes
Yo La Tengo · And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out [2000]
You tell me summer's here,
And the time is wrong.
You tell me winter's here and your days...
Are getting long.
Tears are in your eyes... tonight.
You tell me that you haven't,
Slept in days.
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired...
Anyway.
Tears are in your eyes... tonight.
Tears are in your eyes... every night.
Althought you don't believe me you're strong.
Darkness always turns into the Dawn.
And you won't even remember this for long...
When it ends allright.
Please tell me how... you know tomorrow... staring at your shoes.
Tears are in your eyes... every night.
Tears are in your eyes... every night.
Tears are in your eyes... tonight.
And the time is wrong.
You tell me winter's here and your days...
Are getting long.
Tears are in your eyes... tonight.
You tell me that you haven't,
Slept in days.
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired...
Anyway.
Tears are in your eyes... tonight.
Tears are in your eyes... every night.
Althought you don't believe me you're strong.
Darkness always turns into the Dawn.
And you won't even remember this for long...
When it ends allright.
Please tell me how... you know tomorrow... staring at your shoes.
Tears are in your eyes... every night.
Tears are in your eyes... every night.
Tears are in your eyes... tonight.
