Last Tears

Written and performed by Indigo Girls

These are the last tears I'm gonna cry for you
My cryin's through I'm moving on
I don't regret and won't forget
A single thing that we went through
But there are the last tears I'm gonna cry for you

You take things so much easier than I do
And you could live your life without me if you had to
And you believe that in the end it all works out right
And I might if not for you
And if you ask one which one lives just alone for love
I do

There was a time when all signs pointed to the warm south
The planets all lined up and built a new house
And everything we talked about felt like a prophecy
And when you looked at me they all came true
And if you asked which one wants to go the distance
I do

I'm gonna rack my mind one last time until I cannot think
I'm gonna dip into your memory and take a good stiff drink
And when I'm drunk on the last drop of sadness about how we went wrong
I'm gonna play this song
Make some coffee black and strong
Give thanks for healing time
And finally make up my mind

*Actually I've been trying to write a song like this,
about 'last tears' , moving on,
but always end up with a crappy piece. :p
And I guess Emily and Amy can deliver the message very very fine by this song.
*envy, how can they write this piece so natural~
The 'story' yet the description flows very fluently, smart, and free.
:) I love the lyrics, the 'real' and honest touch.
I mean, it's so humanize to shed a tear. But yes, life goes on.
And i see lots of beautiful phrases here:


I don't regret and won't forget
a single thing that we went through
~Good things and bad things do happen, but they just shape us, until the way we are now.

There was a time when all signs pointed to the warm south
And everything we talked about felt like a prophecy
~Ou yea, No exact formula in love thingy-thingy, even a propechy! :p


Give thanks for the healing time,
and finally make up my mind. :)
~Big thanks to 'time', then.


And still curious, aren't they really never fall into a 'man'? This piece is like, 'so true'.
Or maybe, love and broken heart thing are indeed that universal.
The language that will make no differentiation either for heterosexual or homosexual~
