Souvenir Tears



© 2016 Mark Cote

(chorus) What is that she's wearing
                  it's a chain of souvenir tears
                  What is that she's wearing
                  it's a chain of souvenir tears
                  so how did she collect them
                  she got them through the years

she started out so pretty
oh, and trusting everyone
but a doormat will get dirty
and the footprints are no fun
so she gathered up her tears
 she gathered up every one

(chorus)

holding onto sorrow
can turn a heart to stone
not a road to follow
you'll always walk alone
she just wanted someone to hold her
and call her on the phone

walking in the shadows
You'll always feel outdone
under her umbrella
she's looking for the sun
when the chain gets heavy
I hope she finally finds the one

(chorus)

    1. Wow, thank you for replying directly on my blogger. :-) Yes, I seem to have a flair for the melancholy. the darkness will pass. Hang in there and weather the waves.
