Night of a Thousand Tears

Night of a thousand tears Another day breaks, and I'm still here I was kind of hoping, I would just disappear Since you left, I want to, sleep my life away but I haven't slept now, for twenty days I should try to work, because, my rents, in arrears I'm what you might call, a guy in between careers Bridge 1 When you we're here, we had lot's of dreams, but for you, they were nightmares at least to me, that's how it seems Chorus Just another night, of a thousand tears, days turn to weeks, and weeks to years but, I'll polish our memories like prized souvenirs, it's, just another night, of a thousand tears I wake up ready, to make the best of the day I cook up our breakfast in the usual way The coffees all ready, brewed nicely for two Your mugs still on the shelf, now what do I do? Days turn to weeks, in the blink of an eye, I'm getting older, and I don't even try My life had a purpose, when you were here and just like a fool, I'll wait for you to appear Chorus Just another night, of a thousand tears, days turn to weeks, and weeks to years but, I'll polish our memories like prized souvenirs, it's, just another night, of a thousand tears Bridge 2 I just can't get used to being on my own I'm not the kind of person who likes to be alone My heart feels like it's been pierced, by a thousand spears, it's, just another night of a thousand tears. It's just another night of a thousand tears It's just another night of a thousand tears repeat and fade to zero John Derek Hamilton July 8,2017
