Lyrics
Tear As Large As Texas
by Noreen Inglesi
VERSE 1
Her feet are torn and tattered
Her eyes are bare and worn
Far from the place she was born
She?s a heart without a home
Not more than ten years tender
She?s headin? toward the sun
She knocks on doors for answers
But no one?s ever home.
CHORUS
When will you see
That the whole world?s gone crazy?
When will you see
That the whole world?s gone mad?
When will you see
That the whole world?s gone crazy?
There?s a tear as large as Texas inside of me.
VERSE 2
Her sack is full of wishing wells
For warmer days to come
Snuggling by a fireside
With a smile and a hug
She knows only of this aching
To still that hungry spark.
If only she could find some place
Where she could hang her heart.
Repeat Chorus?????
VERSE 3
Her mind is cool and restless
She barely has the strength
To stroll the streets of solitude
With its wrinkles and its bends.
When will she find a friendly face
Amidst the angry crowd?
Sifting through the pain for happiness
For this she?s come to far.
Repeat Chorus?????
