"Tears And Pavan" lyrics - STRAWBS

[I - Tears]

Where are the tears that you should be crying right now?
I see the world weariness in your eyes
I hear your voice, soft and sad
Yet your laughter rings like carillons of bells in my ears.

Where are the tears that you should be crying right now?
I see the world weariness in your eyes
I feel your heart beat like the wings of the wild goose
I smell your love on me
I can still taste the tears that you should be crying right now.

[II - Pavan]

Oh darling go to sleep for the night is young
There are many songs yet to be sung
Oh but I will sing them all to you
Before the night is through.

And when she lies in need of care and comforting
So as a child's toy she is caressed
And yet when cast adrift upon the changing tide
As a ship becalmed, she lies at rest

Oh darling go to sleep for the night is young
There are many songs yet to be sung
Oh but I will sing them all to you
Before the night is through.

Oh darling go to sleep for the night is young
There are many songs yet to be sung
Oh but I will sing them all to you
Before the night is through.
