Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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 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

Stripping away at it all

Thinkin' of you when the sun comes up

Where teardrops fall

(Intro variation)

 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
