Tears of Hercules Songtext
von Marc Jordan

So it goes
History shows
Deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships
Like women down the Strand

There′s sand on 2nd Avenue
Wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls
Around the block again

I remembered everything
And every window pane
Every word came back to me
And I was Superman

But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules


There's a bus that leaves at 8:15
And another one at 10
Should I climb aboard, risk everything
And ride it to the end?

Watch the hills like rollercoasters
Up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me
So close that I could die

You said, "Love wrecks everything
And none of us survive"
But I got over you tonight
Inside this empty dive

′Til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

I remembered everything
And every window pane
Every word came back to me
And I was Superman

'Til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
Through the tears of Hercules
