Somber Tears from Dream World by Eric Tyler

a punch in the gut from you
sliding out of view
just like this every single time
I turn my head to look around and lose my spot in line

but that's the way it goes, yeah
the way the wind blows, yeah
wish I could see you like I knew you again
instead of tripping over liquor and some medicine

I won't try
to deny
these somber tears
that we cry

Make believe
they're jewells
and we're rich
with love

I'm just making my way through
this sorry life without you
yes the world is turning furthermore
just like a record from a thrift store

my eyes see in VHS
memories of happiness
a brief reprieve in your leave of absence
seeing how we behaved in adolescence


I won't try
to deny
these somber tears
that we cry

Make believe
they're jewells
and we're rich
with love
