Sleep Instead Of Teardrops Lyrics - The B-sides: Lousy With Love - Del Amitri

Cry 

Cry out your eyes forever 

It wont go away 

I 

Im just a dumb observer 

Its so stupid what I said 

Like everyone else will do 

Im gonna lie to you 

Tell you that life is cruel 

But someday youre gonna wake up 

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes 

An so 

Nobody lives forever 

The crassest of clichs 

Like time 

Time is the greatest healer 

But its a murderer to do 

Like everyone else will do 

Im gonna lie to you 

Tell you that life is cruel 

But someday youre gonna wake up 

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes 

You know my holding you wont change, anything 

I cant stop this whole charade, continuing 

As each consoling kiss remains, on your face, like a stain 

So cry 

Cry out those tears an let them 

Succumb to gravity 

An try 

Try as I might Ill never 

Fill that vacancy 

Like everyone else will do 

Im gonna lie to you 

Tell you that life is cruel 

But someday youre gonna wake up 

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes 

Someday youre gonna wake up 

With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
