Tear Stained Eye Lyrics - Trace - Son Volt

Walking down Main Street 

Getting to know the concrete 

Looking for a purpose from a neon sign 

I would meet you anywhere the western sun meets the air 

We'll hit the road, never looking behind 

Can you deny, there's nothing greater 

Nothing more than the traveling hands of time? 

Saint Genevieve can hold back the water 

But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye 

Seeing traces of the scars that came before 

Hitting the pavement still asking for more 

When the hours don't move along, 

Worn-out wood and familiar songs 

To hear your voice is not enough 

It's more than a shame 

Can you deny, there's nothing greater 

Nothing more than the traveling hands of time? 

Saint Genevieve can hold back the water 

But saints don't bother with a tear stained eye 

Like the man said, rode hard and put away wet 

Throw away the bad news, and put it to rest 

If learning is living, and the truth is a state of mind 

You'll find it's better at the end of the line.
