Testo Follow My Tears

I was born in the shadow of the factory I'd be working For me and my brother, there was nowhere else to go I married a local boy in 1947 His hands were rough but his eyes were kind And I knew our love would grow From my eyes to the river From the river to the sea From the sea to the drkening clouds From the sky back down to me Follow my tears.... We sailed for New Zealand, I was carrying our second daughter And there on the dockside, I never knew they were last goodbyes The first time I saw Wellington my heart would not stop racing We had come halfway round the world to start our new lives Now John was an engineer, he worked until the day he died He left me wanting nothing, for thirty years this was our home I am by myself now, the children call me now and then His hands were rough but his eyes were kind And I knew our love would grow From my eyes to the river From the river to the sea From the sea to the drkening clouds From the sky back down to me Follow my tears.... Follow my tears
