Through the Tears Lyrics

Take my body

Hang it from a tree

Like a swarm of bees

Through the tears

I can hardly see

My girl, just thirteen

Takes an awful time

To leave

My mind at ease

My feet swaying

Dancing in the breeze

As I try to breathe

I float upwards

Rising from the scene

Thoughts of Mama

Thoughts of Irene

I remember friends

Tenderness

As I go

They're gonna cry about it

I know their love will sing a song

The stillness in the swaying

Lets them know

That I'm already gone

They're gonna wake from dreams

I'll be there to calm, unseen

And when they think about me

I hope they know

I loved them so

And when they think about me

I hope they know

I'd never go
