The Tears Of Hercules

AlphabetLyrics.com


So it goes, history shows
Deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships
Like women on the strand
There's a sand on second avenue
And the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls
Around the block again.

I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me
Like I was superman
But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of hercules.

There's a bus that leaves at eight fifteen
Another one at ten
Should I climb aboard, risk everything
And ride it to the end?
Watch the hills like rollercoasters
Up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me
So close that I could die.

You said love wrecks everything
And none of us survive
But I got over you last night
Inside this empty dive.

But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of hercules.

I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me
Like I was superman
'til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of hercules
Through the tears of hercules.
