There's a tower on fire in the center of the world
There's a tear of rage inside her eye
There's a young girl waiting for a man who'll never come
But love and tears go by
Love and tears go by
Well you left me standing by the side of the road
Left me the day my brother died
And I cried naked like the day that I was born
But love and tears go by
Love and tears go by
Well another love has left me and I'm broken as the dawn
They leave me forever asking why
Though the night seems never ending the sun will rise again
Cause love and tears go by
Both love and tears go by
Well he reached one hundred and then he met his death
He saw her laugh then saw her cry
Then he leaned in closely with his very final breath
Said love and tears go by
Love and tears go by.
