Tears have rolled down many good cheekSo when it comes down to your turnDon't be afraid of admitting you're weakCause these are tears that you earnStrangers, new neighbours, they'll both understandWho hasn't been there? Hold up your handStrangers, neighbours, none of them plannedTears are the wage of this landWhen raindrop first fell to the groundIt seemed like the brightest ideaEven though teardrops were already aroundNo one yet linked them with tearRaindrop you notice when stood under treesPin-drop you can hear if down on your kneesBut if teardrop anyone seesIt's time, gentlemen pleaseScars you know take longer to healWhilst tears you'll not see againSo which do we try so hard to concealThe ones that make fools of us menBricklayer, teacher, firefighter or vetOne thing in common, the hankies they've wetSongtexteBut hidden away in the bedroom I betTears in public, not yetDrums have rolled for hundreds of yearsSince we've blown one another to bitsGenerals and soldiers still holding their earsCause drumbeat and teardrop don't mixWhen teardrops fall everyone in the bandMakes out their music's slipped from the standLeaving the singer, his head in his handsPublic emotion, be damned Aus Songtexte Mania
