Heaven's Tears
(verse 1)
I stand like a cross
Face skyward and lost
As you drip from my soul with the rain
And deep in my bones
Burned alive - turned to stone
I'm consumed by the kiss of your pain
(chorus)
Heaven shed your tears on me
My eyes no longer cry for me
She took every last one from me
So now I have to cry with
Heaven's tears
Oh, heaven's tears
(verse 2)
My gaze used to swim
And strain to the rim
To drown in the flood of her lies
But that torrent shed
Then depleted and bled
And drained all the weep from my eyes
(chorus)
Heaven shed your tears on me
My eyes no longer cry for me
She took every last one from me
So now I have to cry with
Heaven's tears
Yes now I have to cry with
Heaven's tears
Oh, heaven's tears
(bridge)
Canopy shrouds
Open the clouds
Baptize the gray
Wash me away
Bring on the rains
Open my veins
Put these dry and mournful eyes
To sleep
(verse 3)
Oh how can it be
That sane men can see
Yet not know a dream from a curse
My tears and her blood
Mixed marrow with mud
And I'll never know which is worse
No I'll never know which is worse
(chorus)
Heaven shed your tears on me
My eyes no longer cry for me
She took every last one from me
So now I have to cry with
Heaven's tears
Yes now I have to cry with
Heaven's tears
Oh, heaven's tears
Oh -oh heaven's tears
Cry with heaven's tears
She took the very last
(repeat chorus out)
