"Shapes of Our Tears"

A close friend of mine sent me a scientific journal article about how they'd found that the different kinds of tears (sad, happy, etc) actually have different chemical compositions and molecular shapes.  I thought that was something beautiful enough to write a song about.

I got you an island

Traded away the whole ocean

Sold off the sky and

Gave out solid ground

And you are not mine and

Ends to ends

We all go around

We are worlds changing

year to year

Forming to

the shapes of our tears

We played in the school fields

You said the happiest sight was a bag

I fell,

you broke my frown

When you said you saw the lightening

The storm never ended

It just got caught in a factory machine

The facts were made

according to

The farther dreams

And nearer fears

That formed

The shapes of our tears

And you are not mine and

Beginnings to begin

We all come around

We are worlds changing year to year

Forming to the shapes of our tears
