Black Tears Lyrics - Dream Days At The Hotel Existence - Powderfinger

Fragile little thing 

Go lightly on the wing 

Don't be put off your game 

If troubled winds 

Should blow you off your way 

Natural love and trust 

Have downed their tools 

And struck that 

The nation's heart 

It rusts is no surprise 

And seems so appropriate today 

Black tears on a red rock 

Fall right through and they dry up 

How could it fail 

To grab your attention? 

Black tears on a red rock 

These trees bear a strange fruit 

Harvesting lies and poisoned 

Blossoms of the truth 

There's blood on all our hands 

And blood on our boots 

And black tears on a red rock 

An island watch house bed 

A black man's lying dead 

An island watch house bed 

A black man's lying dead
