Church bells toll, thunder roars around me
I'm being warned to prepare myself for the fall I'm off to
The tape will turn the pain of all yesterdays

Tears on tape, I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape, she surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

Darkness falls
Settling the score with love for once and for all
Soaked in blood, I cry
I fear we're lost to the summer rain
Lonely and afraid

Tears on tape, I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape, she surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

And for a moment there's no pain
For once there's no more pain in your eyes
But maybe a little love, just enough
To convince us to keep breathing on

Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Tears on tape
Tears on tape
I will fall into your arms
