Tears On Tour

[00:13.48] I cried the day my grandfather no longer knew my face
[00:20.62] I wept by the window when he died
[00:28.06] And when my mother called long distance
[00:32.66] To say her mother passed away
[00:35.73] I blubbered on the bus, I couldn't hide
[00:42.10] I've cried at many broken hearts, I've sobbed in countless drinks
[00:51.56] Over girls with faces I barely now recall
[00:59.71] I balled and I ball on the kitchen floor
[01:04.39] When living was too much
[01:07.70] Pick a room, I've wept in them all
[01:15.17] But I can't tell you why
[01:23.20] Tonight my eyes are dry
[01:30.99] I always cry at musicals
[01:34.77] When loving dreams are sung
[01:38.00] I've stained many books
[01:40.59] Their stories false and true
[01:46.49] I cry and rom-coms, dramedies
[01:50.27] The news and children's films
[01:53.56] The Muppet Movie, Frozen, Frozen 2
[02:02.14] But I can't tell you why
[02:09.36] Tonight my eyes are dry
[02:19.08] What would you call the opposite of a comedian?
[02:22.72] Whatever it is, that's what I wanted to be
[02:27.16] I dreamed of touring the country
[02:30.34] Playing small gigs in intimate venues
[02:33.29] Sitting on stage in a leather wingback armchair
[02:37.00] And telling tales of woe
[02:41.10] The audience would join me in a long collective cry
[02:45.50] We would all weep together as one
[02:49.12] I even planned the merchandise
[02:52.40] A hundred percent cotton souvenir handkerchiefs
[02:55.91] Embroidered with tour dates
[02:58.47] Available in the foyer after the show
[03:05.24] I'm waiting for the waterworks to come
[03:11.11] But I don't feel a thing, I'm just exhausted and numb
[03:19.31] I need some release, I need to make it all real
[03:26.60] A lacrimal Niagra, a dramatic reveal
