Текст песни Tears - Guy Clark

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
And you can't beat a tear if you try

Well tears of joy have graced us all
And 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 than the eye
Has never tried to brush away a tear
Quicker than a wink there'll be something in your eye
And you can't beat a tear if you try

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

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
And you can′t beat a tear if you try

Oh, no, you can't beat a tear if you try
