Tear Drops
Tear drops
by Moliehi Molupe-Koeshe
As I laid me down to sleep
I sent to you, my silent prayer
A hope for a dreamless night
A solemn lullaby
So you'll be okay
Every moment I think of you
Wishing we'd never said goodbye
Wishing we'd never parted ways
Hoping you hold me still in your heart
Like my prayer
No more can I shake these dreams,
I'm haunted by images of your love
Tormented in my soul,
By memories I dare not recall
A tear drops
I send to you, my silent prayer
Though the sun has set
And grey clouds cover the sky
In a lean sheet of melancholy
it cannot all be in vain!
I have searched in the lybrith of my mind,
In the maze of my soul and depth of my heart
I screamed to the mountain tops and plains afar
I laid me down in a hollow slumber
Alone and desolate
Still as i drifted off
I silently prayed
That you must know that I'm here
Waiting for you, wishing for you
I don't know what it means
When you do what you do
When you take my breath away
Steal my heart and go
I hope and I pray sweet baby
That somehow you find your way back
That this silent prayer will guide you home
Before my last tear drops
