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