"Tears like rain" (Jones / d'Arpa-Jones)

Standing alone her eyes sad and fore-lone, 'cross the sea
He's gone
Will he return? it's so hard to foresee
Sails disappear through the mist and the rain

Had to move on towards the warm setting sun, just to be
Free again
No future here, if not death, misery
So fare y well, have to hold back the pain

Gone to a new world
Hoping that life there is better than here
Gone to the new world
The tears like the rain are falling
The tears like the rain are falling
From her eyes

Think themselves glad though they'd lost all they had, just to be
Still alive
Nowhere to dwell, stuck like shells on the sand
So fair y well to old St. Patrick's land

Gone to a new world
Hoping that life there is better than here
Gone to the new world
The tears like the rain are falling
The tears like the rain just fall

So what is the futur for those left behind
Is there still hope in the air
Will he remember and send back a sign
And come back to take her there

Gone to a new world
Hoping that life there is more dignified
Gone to the new world
The tears like the rain are falling
The tears like the rain are falling
Gone to a new world
Hoping that life there is better than here
Gone to the new world
The tears like the rain are falling
The tears like the keep are falling
From her eyes
