In the morning, I hear an empty sound Like a lonely highway, in a lonely town Waves of mercy, like a dog found in a road Was it loneliness, I just got to know From the start, there was tear in my heart And a cry for the better place From the start, there's a tear in my heart And it's drippin' down the edges I won't forget, from the start Like a candle, in a summer rain Will it kill the fire, or will it just fade away No depression, can you feel the fire Did you really want me, or was it pure desire From the start, there's a tear in my heart And a cry for the better place From the start, you were driftin' apart With your eyes, you would start to sing this sad song From the start, there's a tear in my heart And a cry for the better place From the start, there's a tear in my heart And it's drippin' down the edges I won't forget, oh yeah Like my sugar, health and children's reach Like my empty skin, washed upon the beach We were hopin' we'd find a fortune there We were hopin' we'd find a fortune there From the start, there's a tear in my heart And a cry for the better place From the start, you were driftin' apart With your eyes, you would start to sing this sad song From the start, there's a tear in my heart And a cry for the better place From the start, there's a tear in my heart And it's drippin' down the edges I won't forget La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la
