Tears

My tears fall down to my shoes
I'm completely wrapped in the blues

I miss my love for she has left
Does my sorrow begin at the clef

I carry the notes around with me
They are there for only I to see

'cause my heart aches from pain inside
every day I just want to cry

Maybe one day I'll meet another
But for now my troubles smother
