Shed your tears on my shoulder,
give these hands the pain
Let my heart be your shelter,
teardrops fall in the rain
Place your soul in a locket,
hung on a golden chain
Let my love be our shelter,
teardrops fall in the rain
My hand lights a candle,
passion sparks the flame
Let my spirit be our shelter,
teardrops fall in the rain
Quills in tears, written in stone,
vows that shall remain
Let my word be your shelter,
teardrops fall in the rain
Mandolins singing ancient tongues,
melodies for a broken heart
Quarrelling dancers fade away,
bitter lovers fight age old battles
Kingdoms fall, two lovers remain
their teardrops fall in the rain
