Tears of the Old
Tears of the Old
[Verse] A lonely old woman cries in the night Her daughter's gone, out of sight She longs to hold her, but she's gone away Leaving her mother to pray [Chorus] Tears of the old, falling down like rain Lost in the darkness, feeling the pain Her heart is heavy, burdened with loss Aching for her daughter, bearing the cross [Verse 2] Memories flood her mind, of days gone by When her daughter was young, under the sky Now she's alone, with tears in her eyes Wishing for one more chance, to apologize [Bridge] The music plays on, a bluesy tone Capturing the sorrow of the old woman's moan The melody weaves through her broken heart As she cries for her daughter, torn apart [Chorus] Tears of the old, falling down like rain Lost in the darkness, feeling the pain Her heart is heavy, burdened with loss Aching for her daughter, bearing the cross.
