The Tear Collector

As the darkness settles in
And candlelight has fade away
I gather the tears that have fallen
My children of despair

Each drop a passing memory
A promise broken, a dream to bury
I adore their symmetry
As I'm embraced by the arms of regret

Take me away, take me away from the pain
These tears in the vial
Remind me of years gone by

Hear me
Alone in eternity
Calling for someone to
Save me
A life in oblivion
Tears falling like leaves to the ground

Like an angel you came to me
On a cold december's night
I will never forget the gift that you gave me
When you walked into my life
You gave me strenght to carry on
Through my darkest hour
You showed me how to love again
When you saved me from the dark

If this is the end I never dare to dream again
If this is the end then bury me today, and

Fly me
Into eternity
Away from the anger and
Save me
A life in oblivion
Falling to pieces

Fly me
Into eternity
Away from the anger and
Save me
A life in oblivion
Tears keep on falling
Falling like leaves to the ground
