The Man Who Had Forgotten How To Cry...
i do not weep
i must be weird
for i do not know
how to cry
when my loved ones
died
i buried them &
some have to cry
for me
to satisfy
our tradition
people who notice this
talk
and they talk behind
my back
i pinch my cheek
and hurt my eyes
there are no more tears
the mirror
speaks
i must be that boy
who had forgotten how to cry
i could be that man
who can never cry
for what use is crying?
will it save papa from
dying?
will it heal a
bleeding heart?
will it change my
predicament?
will it make flowers
grow?
will it turn these stones
into bread?
will it save me from
falling?
will it pacify a storm
will it still the
whirlpools of my
mind?
i have no one to cry for
i am not that selfish to cry for my own self
i am not a masochist
i have no pity for my own misfortune
i do not blame myself for all my failures
i don't have a place to let my tears fall
there is simply no time for it
anymore....

Blame It On The Stones
Mister marvin middle class is really in a stew
Wondrin what the younger generations coming to
And the taste of his martini doesnt please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the rolling stones.
Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better, knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones
Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day
Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay
And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home
Blame it on the rolling stones.
Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better, knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones
Fathers at the office, nightly working all the time
Trying to make the secretary change her little mind
And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes
Blame it on those rolling stones.
Blame it on the stones; blame it on the stones
Youll feel so much better knowing you dont stand alone
Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the stones
Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones.

This Boy Has Been Hurt
(Dolly PartonB. Owens)
I saw him picking up the pieces of his broken heart
And so I stopped to see what I could do
His heart had been run over by a reckless lover
She ran over it and broke it and left it black and blue
Tears were scattered everywhere he was trying to save his pride
He was the victim of a love and run
And I could plainly see that she had almost killed him
Left the scene of a broken heart not looking back at what she'd done
Oh, this boy has been hurt, I'll save him
I'll take his heart and mend it if I can
Oh, this boy has been hurt, I'll save him
I'll take his tears and dry them as fast as he can cry them
I'll heal his hurt and make him as good as new again

Daddy Don't Cry
Daddy stop crying
Your tears scare me
You're supposed to be the strong one
The fearless one
I can't face your tears
Or your pain
Why are you crying?
Do you hurt so bad?
At night I hear you crying
When you think you're alone
And I wonder, 'What did I do?
Was it something I said? '
You sit me down to talk
To tell me everything
You tell me of this cancer
This terrible curse
You tell me how you wish it would
Go away and leave us be
You tell me that you hope one day
It won't happen to me
I listen as you talk to me
And see the tears in your eyes
I get up and wipe away your tears
And say, 'Daddy please don't cry.'
You smile and the tears are gone
But the memory of them remain
I try to cheer you up
To make you forget, in vain
I need you to understand
That everything will be okay
This is completely backwards
But it's what I have to say
Daddy don't cry
Everything will be okay
Just believe it will
And remember,
I LOVE YOU! ! !

Scars, secrects someone else knows
My heart is bleeding my eyes are crying
Inside I almost feel like i'm dying
There are scars that just won't fade
But the tears that I cry can wash away
But I lock away the pain, put away the fears
Show you only smiles not the hidden tears
So what if I have a cut or two
Nobody notices especially you
You wouldn't notice anything was wrong by the way I act
Thats how I wanted it to be to all stay in tact
My secrects not spilled you know how I feel
But now you know it's going to be harder to heal
I didn't want to admit it but it was easier to lie
Hiding the hurt and emptiness to smile instead of cry
It's more harder now knowing someone else knows
It would have been better if I kept my secrets closed
You never would expect anything like this from me
It can get anyone can't you see
Not all scars show not all wounds heal
Sometimes you can't always see the pain someone feels

Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon
But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

The Dreaming Tree
Standing here
The old man said to me
Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
Now hes falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him shed be his
Remembered mothers words
There beneath the tree
No matter what the world
Youll always be my baby
Mommy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
The air is growing thick
A fear he cannot hide
The dreaming tree has died
Oh have you no pity
This thing I do
I do not deny it
All through this smile
As crooked as danger
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
Will you not talk
Can you take pity
I dont ask much
But wont you speak
Please
From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up til then
For sure shed make the grade
Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her wake
She gave it all she had
But treasures slowly fade
Now shes falling hard
She feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart
She drinks to fill it up
A smile of sweetest flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
She thinks when she was small
There on her fathers knee
How he had promised her
You1ll always be my baby
Daddy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
I cant find my way home
There is no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died
Oh if I had the strength...
Take me back
Save me please

Fool (If You Think It's Over)
A dying flame, you''re free again
Who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeens
Unreal, they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day
Fool if you think it's over
Because you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over - I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look of the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun
Miss teenage dream, sucg a tragic scene
He's knocked your crown and ran away
First wound of pride and how
you've cried and cried
But save your tears you've years and years
Fool if you think it's over
I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
And save your crying for the day
That may not come but anyone
Fool if you think it's over....

For My Brothers
John Coltrain, cheap boxed wine, stars melting on heart strings that fall down from the sky.
So here comes your drugs they are clouding your heart. Then there goes your world you are falling apart.
Ground lying and wondering where this will lead. You missed that tomorrow, you wouldn't take heed. I saw you when standing and I saw you fall,
I reached out my hand and yelled out my empty call.
I scream and I yell I stomp stomp and you died. No tears do I weep just a broken down sigh, I pick up these pieces but more come crashing in.
The other last brother his life, hope, and dreams at an end. I fought, still fighting, hold on and I do. My life cannot flourish without him or you.
I fell through my grace at an astounding speed, maybe it was I whom should of taken heed.
Innocence failing, disgrace to our name. We can still rise above it- no we can't- and I am tarred down by my pain. I have adapted to life walking alone. I go around the family and I take on your stones. Whatever they throw can't ever be felt by an empty heart crushed without any true wealth.
These parties, those trees, those tears, and our pride. I'm carrying these memories since both of you died.
Excuse my slight hatred, my shortened contempt, , it's obvious you 2 never saw how much you meant.
Do you remember? ?
Heart seething, life bleeding lines of disease, it's heart breaking, graveyard raking pathways you choose to be free.
Farewell my dear brothers! How foolish tis thee! You might never have understood what you 2 were to me.
I lost out on my happiness. I lost out on my strength. I had my life's frame ripped away! What more could you take. You took my security and my sense of pride. Not guilt just for one but then my Rock, too did he die. I carry your weight, your bad judgments, your blame, and now that you're both gone I am 1 & 1 with your shame.
No longer just Raechael I am the other lost soul. They didn't see me much as I clung to your soles.
Just dragging behind the giants I saw.
You used to save me and catch me, never did I think I would fall.
Why was I forgotten? Why could you not see, you were the only 2 left that stood next to me. Why did you dropp into that black empty space, not knowing that would lead your souls to a faded out sense of grace.
Yes, I did cleanse you.
Yes, I washed you my brothers and I died.
Now letting you go though I cannot even try.
I will see you again hard to swallow as that is. I had to sit and watch you unravel, not the youngest anymore I am alone when I cry.
Why did you 2 wander so far from home?
I need you and you,
you knew that,
now your both gone.
I wish I could hate you so this pain would not hurt so bad.
I wish I did not love you and then at you I would not be so mad.
A little girl sits up high in a willow tree,
crying in a bayou where no one else can see,
and even though she is still alive her wails and moans
haunt the passers by
on their way home to families at home.
Little girl crying in a most inconsolable way
screams that surely frighten all new friends away.
She'll sit there forever until her dying day.
Then her soul will stay crying,
waiting,
never going astray.

Save Me , Save Me
I cant stand the mornin light
Now youre gone , there aint no one to make it right
The way you do
Evry day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you let this heart of mine
Be captured at the start
And I know you know that I cant get through
Am I living a lie when I reach for you
You gotta save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
You gotta save me , save me
You know there aint a world enough without your love
Gotta lay my head , rest my heart
Dream my dreams, but theyre all of you
And they fall apart the way I do
Evry night I fall more in love with you
Praying for the day youll turn around
And make your love all mine
When a man goes down for the very last time
You can throw him a line
You can keep him alive
Ooo, baby , save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why dont you save me , save me
You know there aint a world enough without your love
When do I get to be near you for all time
When do I get to be near you
When a man goes down for the very last time
You can throw him a line
You can keep him alive , ooo
Save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why dont you save me , save me
You know there aint a world enough without your love (love)
You gotta
Save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm above the storm
Why dont you save me , save me
Only you can keep me warm

Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you left this heart of mine

And they fall apart

Every night I fall more in love with you
Im praying for the day you turn around
And make your love all mine
And when Im going down for the very last time
You can throw me a line

Only you can keep me warm

You gotta save me, save me
You know there aint a world enough
Without your love
When do I get to be near you?

You Didn't Rip My Heart Out
I think about how
I love.
The first time
I hung onto him
So hard with my heart,
That when he left
My heart was torn loose.
Though I am reminded
Of a still hanging
Heart,
i seek someone to heal it.
Now, after twice more,
My heart hangs again.
It never did quite heal.
Everyone who tried
To heal it hurt me
More.
As for those I
Loved,
They did not
Mend my heart
Back in place.
They used their
Words to
Blind me of the
Stake
They used to Impale my heart
Back in
Place,
And when they
Left
.....
They ripped it out
And left my
Still beating,
Still bleeding
Heart
Hanging, Draining
Of the Crimson
Love
I so longed to share
With them.
Will you heal my
Wounded and dying heart
or
Will you be just another
Scar my
Heart
Will bear?

Crying
(coverdale/vandenberg)
I smell trouble
And where theres smoke
There must be fire...
You sow your seeds of jealousy
And the flames
Just keep on growing higher...
This cant be love anymore,
I know, cause Ive done
Everything I can...
And all that you can do
I pour gasoline
On a burning man...
Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, Im crying...
Crying... Im crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
Lies...
I can never understand,
You play your cards under the table,
Dealing me a losing hand...
Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, Im crying
Crying... Im crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
Crying, always crying, crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
I want to be there
When your demons come to call...
Im gonna finish what you started, baby,
Watch you burn little house down,
Burn it down, down, down...
Then Ill see you crying,
Crying... crying...
Bitter tears falling like rain...

The Mirror And The Reflection
I look into a mirror, who is it that I see?
This person cannot be me, can she?
Her smile scares me
The person she is
Is not the person I am
What is in her eyes
Is grief
Hatred
No emotions that is happy
What happened with the girl infront of me?
What made her so sad?
She smiles again
That sends shivers down my spine
Her tears make me cry
She falls and me not long after
We cry
There is just grief
Nothing can make us stop crying
Oh dear god
I look at my hands
The tears won't stop falling
Why is it that I am crying?
I am not that girl
I am not sad
I look up to the mirror
Maybe another sight will stand there
The mirror falls
Soon there is not just tears in my hand
There is also blood
Blood that stained from my heart
And as I realize, That girl was indeed me
The one I will be come
The one with a broken heart
The one with a dying fate
But that I already knew
And as I lie there
The reflection on the shattered mirror
Laughs with a sad pain in her voice
Baby Don't You Hurt Me
Looking for the boy who is always on my mind
Looking for the boy who is oh so hard to find
So many tears fell down my wasted face
That's another talk and place
My future's here and it's now
And I think you may be the one to hold the key
So baby don't you hurt me
Gotta have a man who wants to be by my side
Don't want a boy who's gonna make me cry
Baby don't you hurt me
Gotta have a guy who speaks for honesty and true happy
Then my sweetest gonna be you
Baby don't you hurt me
Think about the lover that I wanna be my guy
Freshes my emotions and my fear he overwise
So many tears fell down my wasted face
That's another talk and place
My future's here and it's now
And I think you may be the one to hold the key
So baby don't you hurt me
Gotta have a man who wants to be by my side
Don't want a boy who's gonna make me cry
Baby don't you hurt me
Gotta have a guy who speaks for honesty and true happy
Then my sweetest gonna be you
Baby don't you hurt me
It's scary standing looking about you
Looking in your eyes

So I swallowed the shame and I waited
I buried the blame and I waited
Choked back years of memories...
I pushed down the pain and I waited
Trying to forget...
You promised me another wish
Another way
You promised me another dream
Another day
You promised me another time
You promised me...
Another lie
Oh you promised me...
You promised me...you promised me
And I waited...and I waited...and I waited...
And I'm still waiting...

Tears Are Falling
I read your mind like an open book
You lost the fire in your eyes
You turn to me with a different look
And then its raining, looks like its raining
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Something is wrong as I hold you near
Somebody else holds your heart, yeah
You look at me with your eyes in tears
And then its raining, feels like its raining
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh
Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh
I saw you cry
And now its raining (yeah)
Looks like its raining (someone stole your heart)
And now its raining, feels like its raining
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh
Oh no, tears are falling, someone stole your heart
Oh no, tears are falling, theyre falling from your eyes
Oh no, tears are falling, (no no, falling from your eyes)

Talk To Me
After it was over, after the crying
And all the angry shouting
When we'd both just given up
And you turned and closed the door
I didn't know what was wrong
Anymore than I did before
Maybe it was over
When you stopped trying
Or when I started doubting
Maybe you don't care enough
Maybe I'm just scared you'll go
But maybe what was really wrong
Is that I still don't really know
Talk to me quietly, peacefully
Tell me what to do
Talk to me honestly, don't you see
I need to talk to you
I need to hear that we're okay
And say the things that I meant to say
So talk to me before
Before it's really over
When it all was starting
When I first met you
We couldn't keep from talking
I knew everything you felt
And I felt you knew me too
Now I'm talking to myself
Or I'm just yelling back at you
How this could have happened
How I could lose you
Or you could think to leave me
After where we started from
I'm too dumb I guess to see
But you can't go 'till I do
And you know
You owe that to me
Talk to me quietly, peacefully
I don't wanna fight
Talk to me nice and slow
So I'll know
How to make it right
I'm not afraid to take the blame
I'm just afraid we'll stay the same
And we won't talk until
Until it's really over
I don't understand
Why you're always mad
What could I have done
What could be so bad
Don't you wanna know
Why I never sleep
Look what we've become
From all these secrets that we keep
When it's really over
'cause I can't take it
Or you've walked out
For the last time
When these years are just a dream
And these tears somehow have dried
I can't wake up in my bed
And regret what we never tried
So please don't say it's over
Don't even think it
Just think about the good times
Think of all we've got to lose
And not who's done what to who
And when it comes time to chose
Think of who would still die for you
Talk to me quietly, peacefully
Make me understand
Say what you need to say
Find a way
Take me by the hand
The only thing I ask of you
Is please, for once, just listen too
And talk to me before
Before it's really over
Talk to me
Before it's really over

Fool
A dying flame, you're free again
Who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day
Fool if you think it's over

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over

First wound of pride and how you cried and cried
But save your tears you've got years and years

We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day

Who had to pay would laugh at you and say

Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

Tears In A Vial
This may seem all too confusing
How I could walk away
From something so weird
But you see it all got too demanding, yeah
And I just didn't care, I just didn't care
If I cared, if I cared
[Bridge:]
Lately I've been left wanting
But not wanting you
Attraction that once was no longer there
And it's sucks to be taken, for granted
When the veil is drawn and there's only air
[Chorus:]
I had to walk away
Give up something I loved
For what I loved even more
And saved my tears for you
Everything has lost its meaning
I have to let it go
Define myself, myself
It starts something new, brand new
Forced too deep in a mirror
To face who I really am
Now it's just me, cause I can afford you
[Chorus:]
I had to walk away
Give up something I loved
For what I loved even more
And saved my tears for you
I gave up something I loved
For what I loved even more
And I saved my tears for you, in a vial
And I had walked away
[Solo - Poland]
[Solo - Mustaine]
You were so beautiful to look upon
I can see the light in your smile
Your eyes were the windows, into your soul
Your body was Heavenly, just like the Sky
Until, all your good looks betray you, which ain't much
Counted on your, count of the smiles are too long
Your eyes are empty windows broken
The body maybe here but the soul is gone
I'll save my tears for you in a vial
For every wicked thing that you did, that you said
But to sit and wait, I'm buried with your love
So many tears in a vial
Now that you're gone and now that you're dead

4 The Tears In Your Eyes (live) (feat. Wendy & Lisa)
4 the Tears in Your Eyes [Controversy Music, ASCAP - 1985]
------------------------ [From "We Are the World"]
Long ago, there was a man
Could change stone to bread
With one touch of his hand
Made the blind see
And the dumb understand
And he died 4 the tears in your eyes (your eyes)
Many people came from all around
To hear this man preach
The glorious sound
He spoke of man in harmony, and love abound
And he died 4 the tears in your eyes (your eyes)
Died 4 the tears in your eyes (your eyes)
4 the tears in your eyes, and the tears of sorrow
For 6 may be all that there were
For the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth (the earth)
Faith is word, we all should try
In describing a man
Who willingly died
Believe that your sorrow, hunger, and fears
Is less than the tears in your eyes (your eyes)
(your eyes) (your eyes)
Less than the tears in your eyes (your eyes)
4 the tears in your eyes, and the tears of sorrow
For 6 may be all that there were
For the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth (the earth)
4 the tears in your eyes, and the tears of sorrow
