Black Tears Lyrics

Fragile little thing Go lightly on the wing Don't be put off your game If troubled winds
Should blow you off your way Natural love and trust Have downed their tools And struck that The nation's heart
It rusts is no surprise And seems so appropriate today Black tears on a red rock Fall right through and they dry up
How could it fail To grab your attention? Black tears on a red rock These trees bear a strange fruit Harvesting lies and poisoned
Blossoms of the truth There's blood on all our hands And blood on our boots And black tears on a red rock
An island watch house bed A black man's lying dead An island watch house bed A black man's lying dead
