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