Just before the sun is ready to say goodnight
And the moon comes out of hiding to share its light
I think about the things we used to do
The way you held me when our love was new
But it's no use in going back through the years
There's nothing left for me but tears, tears, tears, tears

Everywhere I go it seems I see your smiling face (smiling face)
But when I get home there's nothing but empty space
That single cigarette we used to share
The time we wasted when I thought you cared
How can I face this life without you near
A life that only holds tears, tears, tears, tears

Who'd ever thought we would be going, going our separate ways
We promised love forever but where, oh, where is love today (love today)

Do, do, do, do

Darling if you'd ever change your mind
Come back and we will leave the past behind
I'll wipe away your doubt, dispel all your fears
But please don't leave me here with tears, tears, tears, tears

But even though my heart is breaking I wish you love
May you find the happiness that we both dreamed of

Do, do, do, do

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
