The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
These tear I've cried. I've cried a thousand oceans. And if it seems I'm floating In the darkness... I can't believe that I would keep, Keep you from flying; And I would cry a thousand more If that's what it takes to sail you home, Sail you home. I'm aware what the rules are. But you know that I will run. You know that I will follow you Over Silbury Hill, Through the solar field. You know that I will follow you. And if I find that you Still remember Playing at trains, Or does this little blue ball Just fade away? Over Silbury Hill, Through the solar field, You know that I will follow you. I'm aware what the rules are, But you know that I will run. You know that I will follow you. These tears I've cried. I've cried a thousand oceans. And if it seems I'm floating In the darkness... Well, I can't believe that I would keep, Keep you from flying. So I will cry a thousand more If that's what it takes to Sail you home, Sail you home, Sail you home.
