A Bucket of Tears

from A Piece of the Sky by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

Where did you go, how did it end
You were my lover and my best friend
Though all these years pulled us apart
Somehow you stayed inside my heart
All those times I will remember, I always will
In the remembering is the thrill, oh the thrill
You were the one who made me laugh in those years
And now I’m left with a bucket of tears.

I watched you go, though I was the one who walked away
You said you loved me, but I couldn’t stay
I loved you back but I had things to do
The way you cared for me got me through
The years have slipped away, look at them fall
I’m still on the road, still answering that call
You were the one who made me laugh in those years
And now I’m left with a bucket of tears.

You had a piece of my heart, you knew me better than anyone else
But something took you from me and me to myself
We saw each other, time and again
Time never passes between friends
Though we drifted apart, & went each our own way
I still can picture most of those days
You were the one who made me laugh in those years
And now I’m left with a bucket of tears.

So rest in peace my friend, I’ll say farewell
I’ll hold the hurt and the heart swell
My tears are falling like Oregon Rain
Falling again, again and again
You stayed behind and I let you go
We were so young, what did we know
You were the one who made me laugh in those years
And now I’m left with a bucket of tears.
