Far away where the soft winds blow   Far away from it all   There is a place you go   Where teardrops fall      Far away in the stormy night   Far away and over the wall   You are there in the flickering light   Where teardrops fall      We bang the drum slowly and play the fife lowly   You know the song in my heart   In the turning of twilight in the shadows of moonlight   You can show me a new place to start      I've torn my clothes and I've drained the cup   Strippin' away at it all   Thinking of you when the sun comes up   Where teardrops fall      By rivers of blindness in love and with kindness   We can hold up a toast if we meet   To the cutting of fences to sharpen the senses   That linger in the fireball heat      Roses are red, violets are blue   And time is beginning to crawl   I just might have to come see you   Where teardrops fall
