Song lyrics Thirty years of tears by John Hiatt

Is this a place I can rest my poor head
To gather my thoughts in sweet silence
Is this a place where the feelings aren?t dead
From an overexposure to violence
And is this a place I can slowly face
The only one I truly can know

These are tears from a long time ago
I got these tears from a long time ago
I need to cry 30 years or so
These are tears from a long time ago

Oh darling, oh darling, say unto me
Where have you been all my lifetime
Well I have been swimmin? the seven sad seas
Fair women have thrown me their lifelines
And I just pulled them on to the water?s dark grin
I?d have warned ?em but I didn?t know

These are tears from a long time ago
I?ve got these tears from a long time ago
I need to cry 30 years or so
These are tears from a long time ago

Well, I?ve cried me a river, I?ve cried me a lake
I?ve cried till the past nearly drowned me
Tears for sad consequences
Tears for mistakes
But never these tears that surround me
Taken from AlbumSongAndLyrics.com
Alone in this place with a lifetime to trace
And a heartbeat that tells me it?s so
I?ve got these tears from a long time ago
These are tears from a long time ago
And I need to cry 30 years or so
These are tears from a long time ago
These are tears from a long time ago
I?ve got these tears from a long time ago
