about

This song is a love letter to things ending and starting again. Sometimes the people you love break your heart. And that's ok. It still makes me cry when I sing it sometimes.

lyrics

My eyes are salty
my tears are dry
but no one knows no ones asking why
my tears are salty
but my eyes are dry
and no one cares when they see you cry

CHORUS
Once it was the music
Once it was my life
and i could take for granted
that we would get it right

I'm off and wandering
out on my own
just an old pair of boots and this dirt road to roam
you were my best friend
partner in crime
but now that's just cobwebs we'll sweep out in time

CHORUS

these last cold days I know more and more
that your words are small and empty as they fall on the floor
i'm walking forward
heart full of pain
but i'll still think of you when i'm hearing
those oakland trains……

CHORUS

my eyes are salty
my tears are dry
but no one cares when they see you cry….
