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