Lyrics
Tears
Geoffrey Armes
A small child leaves the small school for the big girl's school
Just a few days left my love
But you don't understand too much
How the huge days are over
Sun and Shadow slip away
Moments are forever but never again my love
The clamour of stone stairs
The echo in the hall
Stop my tears from falling
But I still hear the call
Torn art on the wall
Shine and skidmark on the floor
The shimer and glimmer of long gone children
The endless summer ends
We all must walk on
Shadows pass
Flit through the door
Stop my tears
(We recede)
My prayer goes up for you
In your new venture
New games
Laid out on the lawn
But the helpless singer
With his helpless song
With his love
To which you belong
Stop my tears from falling
