Tears of Hercules

So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand
There's sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again

I remembered everything
Every window pane
Every word came back to me, the way it used to be
Then I saw your face, across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

There's a bus that leaves at 8:15, and another one at 10
Should I climb aboard, risk everything and ride it to the end?
Watch the hills like roller coasters, up into the sky
And wish that you were here by me, so close that I could die

You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive
But I got over you last night, and I am still alive
Till I saw your face, across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive
But I got over you last night, and I am still alive
Till I saw your face, across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
