Tears of Hercules - Celtic Thunder, Keith Harkin

So it goes, history shows, deserts must expand

Camels sail like wooden ships, like women down the strand

There’s sand on second avenue and the wind blows like a train

Taxis line up like a string of pearls, around the block again

I remembered everything and every window pane

Every word came back to me and I was superman

But then I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Herculesz

There’s a bus that leaves at 8:15 and another one at ten

Should I climb aboard, risk everything, and ride it to the end?

Watch the hills like roller coasters up against the sky

Wish that you were here by me, so close that I could die

You said love wrecks everything and none of us survive

But I got over you tonight inside this empty dive

Till I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules

I remembered everything and every window pane

Every word came back to me and I was superman again

Till I saw your face across the street

Through the tears of Hercules
