Tears Will Never Stain the Streets of That City - Ray Kiker

If I could count the tears that have fallen It would seem like an ocean to me If my heart was a window you could look through Oh, the pain and scars you would see Tears will never stain the streets of that city No wreaths of death on my mansion door Teardrops aren't welcome beyond the gates of glory For the heart will never break anymore I question the loss of a loved one The grave seems so final and cold Oh, we'll meet again where death has no victory In a land where we'll never grow old Tears will never stain the streets of that city No wreaths of death on my mansion door Teardrops aren't welcome beyond the gates of glory For the heart will never break anymore I've never met one man without sorrow Never looked into eyes with no pain But I know a land where grief is a total stranger And songs of joy are the only songs we're gonna sing Tears will never stain the streets of that city No wreaths of death on my mansion door Teardrops aren't welcome beyond the gates of glory Cause the heart will never break anymore Repeat

Pull the blinds down, get the girls 'round You've got an appetite You're an actress, turn the mattress Sleep on the other side Give up drinking, do some thinking and Anything to hide There's no way out, now we've said goodbye You wipe your cheeks while your eyes, they weep These tears that never dry They never dry They never dry They never dry Dye your hair pink, get a new shrink Tell them all about your man Meet for coffee, cuddle softly It never really goes to plan Feel the panic, take a Xanax And anything you can There's no way out, no matter what you try There ain't no drug that can make our love Any easier to hide There's no way out, now we've said goodbye We wipe our cheeks while our eyes, they weep These tears that never dry These tears that never dry Oh, these tears that never dry Oh, these tears Oh, these tears Oh, these tears Oh, these tears Ooh, ooh, ooh
