The Tears Of Hercules Song Lyrics

The Tears Of Hercules by Rod Stewart

So it goes, history shows
Deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships
Like women on the strand
There’s a sand on second avenue
And the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls
Around the block again

I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me
Like I was Superman
But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

There’s a bus that leaves at eighty fifty
Another one at ten
Should I climb aboard?
Risk everything and ride it to the end?
Watch the heels like rollercoasters
Up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me
So close that I could die

You said love wrecks everything
And none of us survive
But I got over you last night
In sadness, empty dies

But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me
Like I was Superman
‘Til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
Through the tears of Hercules
