A tear, rolls down my cheek, flows past my ear, and drops on my paper, each tear, is a part of my soul, every tear I shed, drops on my ink, Now I am empty and dead, and my soul is, in these very words you have read, So save my soul, keep it in a bowl, protect it from the ghouls, save your soul from this fear, lock it in a bowl, because it starts with a tear, rolling down, down past your ear.
