Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends.
The heart somehow finds its feet,
The heart somehow finds its feet,
Finds its feet, finds its feet,
The heart somehow finds its feet,
But who will soothe the soul's deep ache?
Who will soothe the soul's deep ache?
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Tears remain.
Peacocks and peahens, their dances done,
Peacocks and peahens, their dances done,
Dances done, dances done,
The evening passes in weeping and sighs,
The evening passes in weeping and sighs,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain.
The greenness fades, turns yellow and pale,
Clutching at the hem, it slips away,
Clutching at the hem, it slips away,
Slips away, slips away,
Clutching at the hem, it slips away,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain.
Beauty's cupbearer, love's vast sea,
Drunk on melody, it stumbles and falls,
Drunk on melody, it stumbles and falls,
Drunk on melody, it stumbles and falls,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Tears remain, laid out in the eyes,
Clouds arrive, the dark of evening descends,
Tears remain.
