bitter are tears
raindrops in the desert
loud sadness
requiem for dreams
sighs rubbing balm
on memories
let it flow
bitter liquor
and angry spirits
two enemies
I'll tell you tonight
memories
instead of dreams
and hold your hand
let thanks
be greater than the will
deeper than obligations
thicker than the blood
sleep tonight, sleep
tomorrow, tomorrow I'll wake up
and re-print the words
many, unnecessary,
candles red
on a coffin
red candles
instead of dawn

bitter are tears
raindrops in the desert
loud sadness
requiem for dreams
sighs rubbing balm
on memories
let it flow
bitter liquor
and angry spirits
two enemies
I'll tell you tonight
memories
instead of dreams
and hold your hand
let thanks
be greater than the will
deeper than obligations
thicker than the blood
sleep tonight, sleep
tomorrow, tomorrow I'll wake up
and re-print the words
many, unnecessary,
candles red
on a coffin
red candles
instead of dawn
