Tears

Now whoever said the hand is quicker than the eye
Has never tried to brush away a tear
Quicker than a wink there'll be something in your eye
You can't beat a tear if you try

Well tears of joy have graced us all tears of sorrow sometimes fall
Some tears betray you just before you know and some tears don't ever show
Whoever said the hand is quicker...

Now some tears are harder than stone and some tears are better left alone
Well I've seen them kept in bottles and I've seen 'em left to dry
You can't beat a tear if you try
But whoever said the hand is quicker...
Oh you can't beat a tear if you try
