Permanent Tears — Eagle-Eye Cherry

On the day of her arrival No one is there to meet her Something of a sad one A girl with permanent tears

Born without a family Born without a name And all she ever wanted Was to wipe her tears away

Wipe her tears away Away, away

If someone came to love her And if someone came to be The one that will protect her Be a family

Now we will see a smile again And tears like dreams can be Something we will never see Lost in her memory

Wipe her tears away Away, away

Wipe her tears away Tears away Away, away

She's something of a tragedy Stands in the shade of despair I want to cast some light onto her world A world of permanent tears

Born without a family Born without a name Free this weeping willow From drowning in a flood of tears

Wipe her tears away Tears away Away, away

Wipe her tears away Tears away Away, away

Wipe her tears away Tears away Away, away
