The Tears of Audrey - Kevin Gilbert

Audrey’s donning her black dress again

A dress she always plans to wear

«It's over» — she says it softly over

«I'm all alone»

She does not listen to the eulogies

She gives no credence to her pain

«From now on I’m through with love

From now on I will not love again.»

There are no hearts to mend

There are no prayers to send

There’s no reasons why

There’s no need to cry for the sadness of it all

There are no skies of blue

There are no dreams come true

And there is no care

Let the world beware should the tears of Audrey fall

She carefully polishes her heart of stone

She deftly sculpts her feet of clay

«I'm no one and none can touch me

No one… it’s easier this way.»

There are no hearts to mend

There are no prayers to send

And there is no care

Let the world beware should the tears of Audrey fall

So now she’s shutting all her windows tight

And now she’s closing all her blinds

«How can I believe in light

When darkness is all around?»

There are no hearts to mend

There are no prayers to send

There’s no reasons why

There’s no need to cry for the sadness of it all

There are no skies of blue

There are no dreams come true

And there is no care

Let the world beware should the tears of Audrey fall
