Salty Tears
With eyes that sting from salty tears,
I see a heart silently counting years.
Not many left to share with you.
Why can't you see what my eyes do?

There is no time to bide and waste.
It speeds along with frightening haste.
Why can't you see what my eyes do?
Through tears that sting from needing you.

With each new day that hastens by.
More tears are shed, for you I cry.
It's sad and sad, as sad can be.
That you can't see the way I see.

Ten million miles or oceans deep,
Should not a loving heart to keep,
The distance growing by leaps and bounds.
A way to me you've still not found?

I'd crawl through fire on my hands and knees.
For just one moment in your eyes to see.
That your heart,too with desire yearns,
The midnite moon with me to burn.

But you don't see what my eyes do.
They only see what's in front of you.
I'm way back here, behind the clouds.
The one wrapped in the blackened shroud.

Go stand on the shore of the oceans;do!
Taste there the water as it rolls by you.
The bitterness will sting your tongue for years.
If you don't soon stop the flow of my salty tears.
