G# G#/C
Far away where the soft winds blow
G#/C A# G# (E)
Far away from it all
G# G#/C
There is a place you go
G#/C A# G#
Where teardrops fall
G# G#/C
Far away in the stormy night
G#/C A# G#
Far away over the wall
G# G#/C
You are there in the flickering light
G#/C A# G#
Where teardrops fall
C#
We bang the drum slowly
C#
And play the fife lowly
G#
You know the song in my heart
C#
In the turning of twilight
C#
In the shadows of moonlight
D#
You can show me a new place to start
G# G#/C
I've torn my clothes and I've drained the cup
G#/C A# G#
Stripping away at it all
G# G#/C
Thinkin' of you when the sun comes up
G#/C A# G#
Where teardrops fall
(Intro variation)
C#
By rivers of blindness
C#
In love and with kindness
G#
We can hold up a toast if we meet
C#
To the cutting of fences
C#
To sharpen the senses
D#
That linger in the fireball heat
G# G#/C
Roses are red, violets are blue
G#/C A# G#
And time is beginning to crawl
G#/C G#/C
I just might have to come see you
G#/C A# G#
Where teardrops fall
