Del Amitri - Sleep Instead of Teardrops

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

And so nobody lives forever
The crassest of cliches
Like time, time is the greatest healer
But it's a murderer today

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 and let them
Succumb to gravity
And try, try as I might I'll never
Fill that vacancy
