I Want My Tears Back

Lyrics

[Intro: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala] I want my tears back [Verse 1: Anette Olzon] The treetops, the chimneys The snowbed stories, winter grey Wildflowers, those meadows Of heaven, wind in the wheat A railroad across waters The scent of grandfatherly love Blue bayous, Decembers Moon through a dragonfly's wings [Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala] Where is the wonder where's the awe? Where's dear Alice knocking on the door? Where's the trapdoor that takes me there? Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare? Where is the wonder, where's the awe? Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? Before the years take me I wish to see the lost in me [Post-Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala] I want my tears back I want my tears back, now [Verse 2: Anette Olzon] A ballet on a grove Still growing young all alone A rag doll, a best friend The voice of Mary Costa [Chorus: Anette Olzon, Marco Hietala, Both] Where is the wonder where's the awe? Where's dear Alice knocking on the door? Where's the trapdoor that takes me there? Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare? Where is the wonder, where's the awe? Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? Before the years take me I wish to see the lost in me Where is the wonder, where's the awe? Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? Before the years take me I wish to see the lost in me [Post-Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala] I want my tears back I want my tears back now [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Marco Hietala, Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala] Where is the wonder, where's the awe? Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? Before the years take me I wish to see the lost in me Where is the wonder, where's the awe? Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for? Before the years take me I wish to see the lost in me [Post-Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala] I want my tears back I want my tears back now
