i pledged to my love
that i wouldnt harm her
i kept to her side
kept still by her eyes
and the heat came summer
through glass blew the winter
and i kept to her side
and to warm her i cried hot tears, hot tears
when the season did turn
i turned to the highway
and i broke my promise
i left for the mountains
but the forest did burn
and fell toward the ocean
drenched and alone
i swam through my own hot tears
hot tears.
for love is richer
than either mountain or ocean
so hold onto her dreams
while you still know them
the pastures are a plenty
but my heart is overflowing
soon ill be home
and home is my womans hot tears
her hot tears
