Tears Are Smoke
[Verse 1]
Tears are smoke
Rising up from the fire
Tears are blood from a wound
Tears are rain
Pouring out skies of sorrow
Tears have been my only food

[Chorus]
With creation
Groans too deep for talking
We're both waiting for relief
With creation
A shadow we can't outrun
Both impatient to be free, to be free

[Verse 2]
Tears are graves
Marking where something died
Tears are stars in the dark
Tears are stories
Connect the dots of a life
Tears are the color of my heart

[Chorus]
With crеation
Groans too deep for talking
We're both waiting for reliеf
With creation
A shadow we can't outrun
Both impatient to be free, to be free, to be
[Interlude]
Yeah
Oh
Oh

[Outro]
Tears are oil
Setting moments apart
Tears are a balm for the wound
Tears are the point
Letting all the pressure out
And not a one's forgot by You
