I Want My Tears Back The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings Where is the wonder where's the awe Where's dear Alice knocking on the door Where's the trapdoor that takes me there Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare Where is the wonder where's the awe Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for Before the years take me I wish to see The lost in me I want my tears back I want my tears back now A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa Where is the wonder where's the awe Where's dear Alice knocking on the door Where's the trapdoor that takes me there Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare Where is the wonder where's the awe Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for Before the years take me I wish to see The lost in me Where is the wonder where's the awe Where's dear Alice knocking on the door Where's the trapdoor that takes me there Where's the real is shattered by a Mad Marsh Hare Where is the wonder where's the awe Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for Before the years take me I wish to see The lost in me I want my tears back I want my tears back now Where is the wonder where's the awe Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for Before the years take me I wish to see The lost in me Where is the wonder where's the awe Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for Before the years take me I wish to see The lost in me I want my tears back I want my tears back now

Take my hand We'll walk a while, we'll talk a while Feel my love, always there beside you Be the one I know you'll tell me everything You are the one I cherish more than anything I love you more than you'll ever know I love you more than you'll ever see More than my heart could ever show I love you more than you'll ever know Think of me And know that I'll believe in you There'll always be this precious time together With every tear A love so strong, no words could ever say A love to last forever Take my hand We'll walk awhile, we'll talk awhile Feel my love, always there beside you Be the one I know you'll tell me everything You are the one that cherish more than anything

Yep, hey friend, your misery bewilders me How come you're never satisfied or gratified Four walls an' a roof, electricity Stable mind, wife and child Hot and cold water to run anytime But still you, whine, "I want more" A bum could rummage through ya bin And live like a king On just one crumb o'ya cake An' ya say ya life needs fulfilling Some would give anything To live like you Shame your mind, don't shine Like your possessions do Whining, complaining all the time Don't see no rain on you What side your bread is buttered on If only you knew What d'ya mean, I want more, yep I was told as a child All I want, never get Learned to count my blessings Long before I saw an abacus So what ya family don't speak At least they're alive Show me a man without guilt Or a soul that ain't lied You don't know what ya got Open your eyes, look around Really, hear me You ain't got no reason to be down What d'ya mean, I want more Friend what is it that you seek What is it that you try to find? Someday I hope you realized It shined in you all the time Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift What d'ya mean, I want more, yep What d'ya mean, I want more, yep
