Seven tears have flown into the river
Seven tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant water
Then you''ll know it''s sent with love from me
Here I stand, head in hand
Lonely, like a stranger on the shore
I can''t stand this feeling anymore
Day by day, this world’s all grey
And if dreams were eagles I would fly
But they ain''t and that''s the reason why
Seven tears have flown into the river
Seven tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant water
Then you''ll know it''s sent with love from me
Oh my darling oh my pretty lady
Golden star that leads to paradise
Like a river''s running to the ocean
I''ll come back to you four thousand miles
Here I stand, head in hand
Lonely, like a stranger on the shore
I can''t stand this feeling anymore
Day by day, this world’s all grey
And if dreams were eagles I would fly
But they ain''t and that''s the reason why
Seven tears have flown into the river
Seven tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant waters
Then you''ll know it''s sent with love from me
Oh my darling oh my pretty lady
Golden star that leads to paradise
Like a river''s running to the ocean
I''ll come back to you four thousand miles
Seven tears have flown into the river
Seven tears are running to the sea
If one day they reach some distant waters
Then you''ll know it''s sent with love from me
Oh my darling oh my pretty lady
Golden star that leads to paradise
Like a river''s running to the ocean
I''ll come back to you four thousand miles
