Crocodile Tears Lyrics by Red Guitars

Slow to Fade (reissue)

1984

On postcards of buildings fly the flags of many nations which you send me
Falsehoods on four winds from unsung and faraway places
Distance breeds lies and those lies crystallise what I feel
You say you still love me but from here I get the idea it's a lie
Crocodile tears at the station, ripping at my heart
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - the end of another fresh start
You left me with nothing but the taste of gum on my tongue
From letters to places with beaches, blue oceans and sun
I said that I love you, God knows I tried!
You say you still love me, but you're always saying “Goodbye”
Crocodile tears at the airport, ripping at my heart
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - the end of another fresh start
You said you must leave but you wouldn't say why you were going
I looked into your eyes but my heart had no way of knowing
I said that I loved you, God knows I tried!
You say you still love me, but you're always saying “Goodbye”
Crocodile tears at the station, ripping at my heart
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - oh!
Crocodile tears at the airport, ripping at my heart
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start
