Crystal Tears (a song)

Star 11/20/86

Gazing out the window
Lost in crazy things
No one ever told me
The pain that parting brings

Longer ever minute,
Second that we wait
Until we fall together,
'Cause now it is too late—

(Chorus:)
Never will I forget our wasted years
Every thoughtful minute brings those crystal tears
No one ever told me about those awful fears,
So here I sit, drowning, in my crystal tears.

Your face so bright in moonlight
And a happy grin
Always trying to cover
The pain you felt within

Always there are changes
Unless you sit and wait
Hiding in the shadows
Of things you rue and hate

Never will I forget our wasted years
Every thoughtful minute brings those crystal tears
No one ever told me about those awful fears,
So here I sit, drowning, in my crystal tears.

We always look for answers
Of things we'll never know
And always we're disguising
The things we will not show

There's a fool born every minute
And, dear, you married one,
but ever since I'm crying
You think I'm having fun...

Never will I forget our wasted years
Every thoughtful minute brings those crystal tears
No one ever told me about those awful fears,
So here I sit, drowning, in my crystal tears.

Oh, dear, how much I love you
I can only try
To express my understandings
But I'm so damned shy

How can you attack me
When I try to care?
This will never change me,
I'll always be there—

Never will I forget our wasted years
Every thoughtful minute brings those crystal tears
No one ever told me about those awful fears,
So here I sit, drowning, in my crystal tears.
