Memories in a sea of forgetfulness

close my eyes
not to remember
every crime or time I fell
into the open arms of temptation
driving the nails
how does your love remain so faithful
to the unfaithful

Chorus:
where do you hide the tears
you should be crying when
i've fallen again and
where do you hide the tears
that fell in the day i turned you away
you throw them away...
the sea of forgetfulness

draw my heart
out of the darkness
where i was hiding from your face
into the open arms of forgiveness
offering grace
into a place where there's no memory
left to press against me

Chorus:
where do you hide the tears
you should be crying when
i've fallen again and
where do you hide the tears
that fell in the day i turned you away
you throw them away...
the sea of forgetfulness

Bridge:
stumble or fall
you cover them all
nothing to hold you
let them go
love takes me in
and covers with in
to welcome the child you know i am

Chorus:
where do you hide the tears
you should be crying when
i've fallen again and
where do you hide the tears
that fell in the day i turned you away
you throw them away...
the sea of forgetfulness
