Silver Tears

Every night when I look up,
I see the moon
Giving off its cold light,
But I think it's a lady,
Not a man in the moon

She cries each night,
Cries silver tears
They fall from her eyes
And shine brightly against
The dark velvet sky

They shine like diamonds
They shine so bright
They shine like stars
And bring back memories
Of pain and sorrow

Once she smiled
Once she laughed
One she was happy
Once she was glad

But now each night
She cries silver tears
And I look up and whisper
I know how you feel

For once I smiled
For once I laughed
For once I was happy,
For once I was glad

But now each night
I cry tears of pain
And from my veins
Flow crimson blood
And I wonder if
She looks down at me
And whispers softly
I know how you feel
