To be a tear in your brown eye
Your tear, I swear, for you I care
Be born just when you feel to cry
Your tear, I swear, to hold you near
I'd swell from feelings felt so deep
Your tear, I swear, to keep your prayers
Inside your heart your eye I'd steep
Your tear, I swear, your pain I'd bear
Till at last I'd fall and speak
A thousand words unheard for weeks
Till now it's understanding peaked
My life complete, ends on your cheek
To be reborn from Joy or Fear
Your tear, I swear, none can compare
