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