01 Tear
I sat him down at the table
I pushed in his chair
I recorded the minute and hour
That he sat down there
I gave him one golden apple
And one lawful arrow
I said, "Show me how to win Solitaire, oh
Show me how to win Solitaire"
He studied the loaded figures
Took one in each hand
He wept for the truth in symbols
The love of his man
He wrote in a hidden language
And spelled the word "anguish"
I said, "Show me how to live through tomorrow"
He wrote, "Life is only borrowed"
He counts nought, nought, nought one
Nought, nought one, one, one
Nought one tear
Oh, to be human
He picked up the lawful arrow
And he threw it away
He picked up the golden apple
And he gave it to me
"I can show you love that's fair, oh
A life that is bearable
So I'll show you how to win Solitaire, oh
Show you how to win Solitaire"
He counts nought, nought, nought one tear
Nought, nought one, nought one tear
Nought, nought one, one, one, one, one
Nought one tear
I pushed in his chair
I recorded the minute and hour
That he sat down there
I gave him one golden apple
And one lawful arrow
I said, "Show me how to win Solitaire, oh
Show me how to win Solitaire"
He studied the loaded figures
Took one in each hand
He wept for the truth in symbols
The love of his man
He wrote in a hidden language
And spelled the word "anguish"
I said, "Show me how to live through tomorrow"
He wrote, "Life is only borrowed"
He counts nought, nought, nought one
Nought, nought one, one, one
Nought one tear
Oh, to be human
He picked up the lawful arrow
And he threw it away
He picked up the golden apple
And he gave it to me
"I can show you love that's fair, oh
A life that is bearable
So I'll show you how to win Solitaire, oh
Show you how to win Solitaire"
He counts nought, nought, nought one tear
Nought, nought one, nought one tear
Nought, nought one, one, one, one, one
Nought one tear
