Thirty Years Of Tears Lyrics - John Hiatt

Is this a place I can rest my poor head 

To gather my thoughts in sweet silence 

Is this a place where the feelings aren't dead 

From an overexposure to violence 

And is this a place I can slowly face 

The only one I truly can know 

These are tears from a long time ago 

I got these tears from a long time ago 

I need to cry 30 years or so 

These are tears from a long time ago

Oh Darling, oh darling, say unto me 

Where have you been all my lifetime 

Well I have been swimmin' the seven sad seas 

Fair women have thrown me their lifelines 

And I just pulled them on to the water's dark grin 

I'd have warned 'em but I didn't know 

These are tears from a long time ago 

I've got these tears from a long time ago 

I need to cry 30 years or so 

These are tears from a long time ago 

Well, I've cried me a river, I've cried me a lake 

I've cried till the past nearly drowned me 

Tears for sad consequences 

Tears for mistakes 

But never these tears that surround me 

Photos 

Alone in this place with a lifetime to trace 

And a heartbeat that tells me it's so 

I've got these tears from a long time ago 

These are tears from a long time ago 

And I need to cry 30 years or so 

These are tears from a long time ago 

These are tears from a long time ago 

I've got these tears from a long time ago
