01 Tear

[Verse 1]
I sat him down at the table, I pushed in his chair
I recorded the minute and hour that he sat down there
I gave him one golden apple and one lawful arrow
I said, "Show me how to win Solitaire, oh
Show me how to win Solitaire"

[Verse 2]
He studied the loaded figures, took one in each hand
He wept for the truth in symbols, the love of his man
He wrote in a hidden language and spelled the word "anguish"
I said, "Show me how to live through tomorrow"
He wrote, "Life is only borrowed"

[Chorus]
He counts not, not, not one
Not, not one, one, one
Not one tear

[Bridge]
Oh, to believe you now

[Verse 3]
He picked up the lawful arrow and he threw it away
He picked up the golden apple and he gave it to me
"I can show you love that's fair, oh, a life that is bearable
So I'll show you how to win Solitaire, oh
Show you how to win Solitaire"

[Chorus]
He counts not, not, not one tear
Not, not one, not one tear
Not, not one, one, one, one
Not one tear
