Tears Run Rings Lyrics

On heavenly rain
You fell into my life
Unforgettable smile
Unforgettable liesIn the name of the cross
Or a banner of love
With the hand of a friend
Or under a blanket of trustThe angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings
Around my eyesWe're going to set fire
To the house in my heart
We're going to set fire
To the whole damn worldI don't understand
The wicked things we do
In the name of the good
In the name of the fewThe angels sighed
The little girl cried
The tears run rings

Around my eyesThe angels sighed
The little girl cried
The tears run rings
Around my eyesDon't look at me
With your innocent smile
When the bed is burning
Around my headWhen a war breaks out
It'll be no surprise
Your unforgettable smile
Your unforgettable liesAnd I've got to stop running
To make my start
We've got to get together
Before we fall apartThey're pulling down the old slums
To build the new
They're bringing back the old rules
To please the fewIn the name of the cross
Or a banner of love
With the hand of a friend
Or under a blanket of trustThe angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings
Around my eyesThe angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings
Around my eyesThe angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings
Around my eyesThe angels sighed
A little girl cried
The tears run rings
Around my eyesPull down the old slums
To build the new
Pull down the love
I built with youPromise of tomorrow
You never kept
And you try to burn the house down
When I sleptThe nation's in disorder
There's chaos in my heart
We've got to get together
Before we fall apartBefore we fall apart
Before we fall apart
Before we fall apart
Before we fall apart
