Sleep Instead Of Teardrops - Del Amitri

Cry.

Cry out your eyes forever

It won’t go away

I. I’m just a dumb observer

It’s so stupid what I say

Like everyone else will do

I’m gonna lie to you

Tell you that life is cruel

But someday you’re gonna wake up

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

An so

Nobody lives forever

The crassest of clichés

Like time

Time is the greatest healer

But it’s a murderer today

Like everyone else will do

I’m gonna lie to you

Tell you that life is cruel

But someday you’re gonna wake up

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

You know my holding you won’t change, anything

I can’t stop this whole charade, continuing

As each consoling kiss remains, on your face, like a stain

So cry

Cry out those tears an let them

Succumb to gravity

And try

Try as I might I’ll never

Fill that vacancy

Like everyone else will do

I’m gonna lie to you

Tell you that life is cruel

But someday you’re gonna wake up

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

Someday you’re gonna wake up

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
