Syrup of Tears - Daniel Johnston, Mark Linkous

Tears fall left and right

No hope in sight

Why can’t we syrup

For sorrow pancakes so flat

Keep it light forever

Not realizing my own fate

It’s great the weight upon me now

Nothing for me nowhere

But the emptiness I feel

Depression has got me down

Drilling for the kill

It’s too late to suffer through

God, I’ll make you a deal:

Just let me smile a while for real

And when the evening comes

I’ll be on the run

You were the only one

That sure was fun

To me it’s never been any better

And no kind of love has been any greater than you

For me, I can tell

You shone like a sacred goddess in love

Like a psycho hot as the sun

Until we meet again, I won’t give up

It’s such a wonder for us our inner quest

And so it starts

The alligator when you appeared

From never forever

And you smiled on my poor suffering soul

Blessed child, you are my treasure

Can’t you see, it’s all an illusion

I love you more than myself

I love you more than myself

I love you more than myself

I love you more than myself

I love you more than myself

And I wish to see you again

And I wish to see you again

And I wish to see you again

And I wish to see you again

And I wish to see you again
