Song Lyrics

They're only tears reach up and touch one
They come from the way you touch me
Tears rise like a tide to the moon
When the heart of a woman is open to you

If I cry, it only means I want you closer
Don't be afraid, follow me wherever I go
Stay with me, even if it feels like I'm breaking
'Cause I can only give you everything if I cry

I need your hand touch me in the darkness
Tenderness alone can understand
That love knows, more than it can say
Like a river of surrender, it's washed us away

If I cry, it only means I want you closer
Don't be afraid, follow me wherever I go
Stay with me, even if it feels like I'm breaking
'Cause I can only give you everything if I cry

These tears are water from a flame
Lay down in the fire and let it rain

If I cry, it only means I want you closer
Don't be afraid, follow me wherever I go
Stay with me, even if it feels like I'm breaking
'Cause I can only give you everything
Yes, I can only give you everything if I cry
