Veil Of Tears Lyrics - And The Horse They Rode In On - Soul Asylum

Well, a fascinating sensation 

No I can't even feel it 

I just had to let you know 

I can't conceal it 

I was recently considering 

Taking the pain with the pleasure 

Just to find my way to the bottom of this 

I'll have to dig forever 

And it's no small measure 

Lift up your veil of tears 

Don't be disappointed child 

If your prayers go unanswered 

We are not responsible 

For these sad circumstances 

Secret agents and freedom fighters 

On those impossible missions 

Better put your toys and games away 

Maybe take the kids out fishing 

For a family treasure 

In your early years 

Behind your veil of tears 

So frustrated, get up anyway 

So complicated, changes every day 

So the darkness fades 

And the light will come shining through 

I heard the eyes that look to a better world 

Always hide beneath the veil of tears 

And you hide no more 

Lift up your veil of tears 

Hide no more 

Behind your veil of tears 

Now the executioner must be executed 

No I think we'll set him free instead 

Watch him run 

And you hide no more 

Lift up your veil of tears 

You hide no more 

You hide no more 

You hide no more
