Lyrics

Dry Your Eyes

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Dry your eyes, take your song out

It’s a newborn afternoon

And if you can’t recall the singer, can you still recall the tune?

Dry your eyes, play it slowly, just like you’re marching off to war

Sing it like you always wanted, like you sung it once before

And from the centre of the circle, to the big waiting crowd

If it ever is forgotten, sing it long and sing it loud

And come dry your eyes

And you taught us more about living, than we ever cared to know

And we came to learn a secret, and we never let it go

And it was more than being holy, it was less than being free

And if you can’t recall the reason, can you hear the people see

Right through the lightening and the thunder, to the dark side of the moon

Through that distant falling angel, that descended much too soon

Come dry your eyes

Dry your eyes, take your song out

It’s a newborn afternoon

And if you can’t recall the singer, you can still recall the tune

Come dry your eyes

Come dry your eyes

Dry your eyes
