World Without Tears — Lucinda Williams

If we lived in a world without tears How would bruises find The face to lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bonds

If we lived in a world without tears How would heartbeats Know when to stop How would blood know Which body to flow outside of How would bullets find the guns

If we lived in a world without tears How would misery know Which back door to walk through How would trouble know Which mind to live inside of How would sorrow find a home

If we lived in a world without tears How would bruises find The face lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bones

If we lived in a world without tears How would bruises find The face to lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bones How would broken find the bones How would broken find the bones
