And he dances every night
  Framed in candles
  And white white light
  All is revealed
  When all is too bright
  You're such a pleasure
  A wonderful pain
  Makes me never want
  To love again
  But sorrow always comes
  To those with fickle fame
  
  And the tears are gonna come
  The tears are gonna come
  
  We are consumed by corruption
  Old before our time
  Hurt by others' hunger
  Scarred by love as greed (how I need)
  How cruel the birthday of 17
  Youth behind you
  The long years ahead
  Showing you what you might have been
  Instead of drifting, drifting, drifting
  
  And the tears are gonna come
  The tears are gonna come
  
  Foundations crumble
  Walls subside
  We all break apart
  When there's heartache inside
  Hold back those years
  Those tears
  With a futile pride (we're gonna come clean)
  Beware of love
  And of dark-eyed men
  They're sweet and they're tender
  But they have no hearts
  Just long smashed
  Cruel shards of broken glass
  
  And the tears are gonna come
  The tears are gonna come
  
  And all those songs
  That made me cry
  Keep flooding back
  And years of new discovery and you
  Disturbing my dreams
  Now we're flowing down that river
  Heading for the delta
  I don't know which way to flow
  But my heart's a forest fire
  And yours a field of snow
  
  I don't know which way to flow
  Don't know which way
  Don't know which way
  To flow
