Mathematics of Tears Songtext

von Red Flag

Indulge me while I philosophize
And try to find the meaning of the tears in your eyes
You're inconsolable, or so it appears
Unless I can decipher the mathematics of tears

Oh, you're sad and so forlorn
Cry, my dear, cry 'til dawn

Sleep, my love (go, sleep, my love)
Sleep, my dear (go, sleep, my dear)
It's time to close your eyes
The time is drawing near (go, sleep, my love)
Sleep, my love (go, sleep, my love)
Sleep, my dear (go, sleep, my dear)
It's time to say goodnight
The night drawing near (go, sleep, my love) (go, sleep, my love)

You are melancholy and long for sleep
But for now your bed is just a place to weep
Though eventually you'll rest, and as the dawn appears
I finally understand the mathematics of tears

Oh, you're sad and so forlorn
Cry, my dear, cry 'til dawn

Sleep, my love ...

Sleep, my love ...
