Tears Keep Coming

I cried last night
In cold moonlight
One thousand miles away from Franklin Street
The doctor sighs
Says, "stay inside"
Nobody here has worked in weeks

The shops downtown got boards on the doors
And the mailman ain't singin' anymore
And the heartaches came by the dozen
And the tears keep comin'

Today I laughed
Some pain had passed
Had eyes as bright as sunlight hitting snow
For those gone home to rest
And all that lies ahead
All the clowns on TV claim to know

Everything to keep from yesterday
While today the ballad box rots away
And if tomorrow changes nothing
Let the tears keep comin'

"It's finally dead"
An old friend said
When the hum of traffic disappeared
But I bet the Lake is still blue
As the loneliness is true
Looking through a cigar box of souvenirs

If I make a tin can telephone
Would you talk to me
As if we hadn't grown
And there's nothin'
That still means somethin'
Let the tears keep comin'
