A Fraction of a Tear
A humble man who bears a mighty grief
Lies down beside a river and he begins to weep
His tears are carried downward to the sea
And there they mix with other drops through all the centuries
And now, every time you stand upon the shore
In every wave from every ocean's store
In every wave that casts a spray
Upon your face, you'll feel a trace
A fraction of a tear, a fraction of a tear
A fraction of a tear of long ago
A woman held her lover's hand that day
Her touch has graced his heart as he then goes about his way
He comes upon the man who lies and weeps
Whose tears are falling downwards to the river to the sea
Stranger and my brother, are you hurt?
Let me take your arm and help you rise above this earth once more
A fraction of a tear, a fraction of a touch
A fraction of a day of long ago
And now, every time you feel your heart will break
And every time you feel a warm embrace
Another time, another place
Is sending you another trace
A fraction of a touch, a fraction of a tear
A fraction from that day of long ago
A fraction of a tear, a fraction of a touch
A fraction of a day of long ago
Lies down beside a river and he begins to weep
His tears are carried downward to the sea
And there they mix with other drops through all the centuries
And now, every time you stand upon the shore
In every wave from every ocean's store
In every wave that casts a spray
Upon your face, you'll feel a trace
A fraction of a tear, a fraction of a tear
A fraction of a tear of long ago
A woman held her lover's hand that day
Her touch has graced his heart as he then goes about his way
He comes upon the man who lies and weeps
Whose tears are falling downwards to the river to the sea
Stranger and my brother, are you hurt?
Let me take your arm and help you rise above this earth once more
A fraction of a tear, a fraction of a touch
A fraction of a day of long ago
And now, every time you feel your heart will break
And every time you feel a warm embrace
Another time, another place
Is sending you another trace
A fraction of a touch, a fraction of a tear
A fraction from that day of long ago
A fraction of a tear, a fraction of a touch
A fraction of a day of long ago
