Thirty Years of Tears — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Is this a place I can rest my poor head

To gather my thoughts in sweet silence

Is this a place where the feelings arent dead

From an overexposure to violence

And is this a place I can slowly face

The only one I truly can know



These are tears from a long time ago

I got these tears from a long time ago

I need to cry 30 years or so

These are tears from a long time ago



Oh darling, oh darling, say unto me

Where have you been all my lifetime

Well I have been swimmin the seven sad seas

Fair women have thrown me their lifelines

And I just pulled them on to the waters dark grin

Id have warned em but I didnt know



These are tears from a long time ago

Ive got these tears from a long time ago

I need to cry 30 years or so

These are tears from a long time ago



Well, Ive cried me a river, Ive cried me a lake

Ive cried till the past nearly drowned me

Tears for sad consequences

Tears for mistakes

But never these tears that surround me



Alone in this place with a lifetime to trace

And a heartbeat that tells me its so

Ive got these tears from a long time ago

These are tears from a long time ago

And I need to cry 30 years or so

These are tears from a long time ago

These are tears from a long time ago

Ive got these tears from a long time ago
