lyrics

No Tears Would Cross My Eyes

I rode into town and found a lesson there
in the summer of 07 there were times I cried for air
there were angels in the mornings and friends to walk a mile
but I couldn’t find the music in a song

(chorus)
couldn’t find the melody I couldn’t find the spirit
I was sad that I was crying but no tears would cross my eyes
my voice was making noise and the guitar strummed the chords
but I couldn’t find the melody the song was from my mind

I stood on the stage and the people strained to listen
they slowly left the room as the song filled the air
then I saw in the corner a young boy there was weeping
he’d heard the words but he said my voice did not appear to care

(Chorus)

I tried to find the song and I sang it again later
the boy then began smiling and he knew I’d found the light
seemed for all the ages I’d been singing for the people
but when you sing for God it can take the darkness from the night

(Chorus)
