Lyrics Kasey Chambers

Kasey Chambers

Tear Stained Eye

Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to know the concrete

Lookin for a purpose from a neon sign.

I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air

I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind.

Can you deny, there's nothin' greater

nothin' more than travelin' hands of time

St. Genevieve can hold back the water,

but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

Seein' traces of the scars that came before

written in the pavement, still akin' for more

when the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs

To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame.

Can you deny, there's nothin' greater

nothin' more than travelin' hands of time

St. Genevieve can hold back the water,

but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet

throw away the bad news and put it to rest

If learnin is livin', and the truth is a state of mind

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

Can you deny, there's nothin' greater

nothin' more than travelin' hands of time

St. Genevieve can hold back the water,

but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
