Alejandro Escovedo - Pyramid of Tears lyrics

Her dress don't hide her age Not like Mama said it would And her smile fades away Just like Daddy said it could CHORUS: Pyramid of tears I see you cry No, things don't come so easy Not when you turn twenty-five And to blow out the candles Takes a little concentration I can't look inside her eyes I can't kiss her perfect lips I can't whisper in her ears And take her far away from this CHORUS I can't hold her tight enough Not to steal away the pain I can't look into her eyes And tell her everything's ok No, she's no tired She's just older And she's lost the will to fly I can't whisper in her ears And tell her everything will be ok CHORUS
