Sorrow Borrowed From Teardrops
SORROW BORROWED FROM TEARDROPS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my love... leave me not
be careful where you tread
they are not dew drops
they are more... much more than that
sorrow borrowed from teardrops
dew drops
sorrow borrowed from teardrops
tread carefully
i scoured every blade of grass
i wept... I could not find you
search not for me
i am gone... now mere dew drops
prey... tread carefully
sorrow borrowed from tear drops
the sun gladly quenched its thirst
