Tears They Cried
© 2000 Lyrics by Elizabeth Marquez/Graham Henderson
Music by Graham Henderson
(V1)
They were newly wed, and so in love.
In the fall of forty-four.
Their home and lives, torn apart.
Swallowed by a war.
Forced apart by guards and dogs.
And marched away, to separate fate.
Each looked back and waved their love.
Mid a holocaust of fear and hate.
(C1)
Both clung to their memories
Their love and held, firm their pride
Their love gave them hope.
The tears they cried, were cried inside.
(V2)
Then when war was ended.
And survivors all set free.
They tried to find each other
In a confusion of, bureaucracy
But their hope never faded
Love’s candle was its light
They spent their days. Retracing steps.
While tears they cried filled their every night
Instrumental
(C2)
They held their faith and their love.
Through every night they prayed and cried.
And as they searched with vision dimmed.
By tears they cried they could not hide
(B)
Then one day as he stood.
In the ruins of their church
A woman there was crying too
He gave her his handkerchief
She didn’t need to see his face.
For written in his voice.
Was the heartache of undying love.
The years could not erase
(C3)
They’d held onto each other.
Through all the nights they cried.
Now as they embraced again at last.
The tears they cried flowed then dried
