Lyrics
Big Black Tears
You get the best of me when you fall into my ocean
You get the best of me when you leave a trail behind
You get the best of me when I'm playing in the sand
Just getting a little sun on my skin
Collecting seashells in my hand
Oh my lord what have we done here?
Looks like our earths crying big black tears
Crying big black tears
You get the best of me when you cover up my smile
You get the best of me when you cover me for miles
You get the best of me when I'm cleaning up the land
Just put it in my big garbage can
Just trying to clean it up again
Now I've got these tears in my hand
Oh my lord what have we done here?
Looks like our earths crying big black tears
Crying big black tears
