Church bells toll

Thunder roars around me

I've been warned to prepare myself

For the fall



I'm armed to the teeth with tender pain

Of all yesterdays



Tears on tape

I will follow into your heart

Sketching rain from afar



Tears on tape

She surrenders needle in arm

While we dance into the storm



Darkness falls

Settling the score with love for once and for all

Soaked in blood I cry



I fear we're lost to the summer rain

Lonely and afraid



Tears on tape

I will follow into your heart

Sketching rain from afar



Tears on tape

She surrenders needle in arm

While we dance into the storm



And for a moment there's no pain

For once there's no more pain in your eyes

And maybe we'll love, just enough

To convince us to keep breathing on



Tears on tape

Tears on tape

I will follow into your heart



Tears on tape

Tears on tape

I will follow you, to your arms
