D D/F#
Far away where the soft winds blow
D/F# E D (E)
Far away from it all
D D/F#
There is a place you go
D/F# E D
Where teardrops fall
D D/F#
Far away in the stormy night
D/F# E D
Far away over the wall
D D/F#
You are there in the flickering light
D/F# E 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/F#
I've torn my clothes and I've drained the cup
D/F# E D
Stripping away at it all
D D/F#
Thinkin' of you when the sun comes up
D/F# E 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/F#
Roses are red, violets are blue
D/F# E D
And time is beginning to crawl
D/F# D/F#
I just might have to come see you
D/F# E D
Where teardrops fall
