Tears Are in Your Eyes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by nerdparts 

Cover art for Tears Are in Your Eyes lyrics by Yo La Tengo

This is a consolation song about a person that has lost spring curls. This person is obviously stricken with grief because the oppressor/singer has forbidden the growth of new spring curls, especially during the winter seasons. Here, the oppressor is attempting to offer solace, but it is overtly done in a mocking tone. Thus, the victim continues to cry...every night.
