Tears of Hercules

So it goes history shows deserts must expand Camels sail like wooden ships like women down The Strand There's sand on Second Avenue and the wind blows like a train Taxi's line-up like a strand of pearls around the block again I remembered everything every windowpane Every word came back to me the way it used to be Then I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules There's a bus that leaves at 8:15 and another one at 10:00 Should I climb aboardrisk everything-and ride it to the end? Watch the hill like roller coasters up into the sky And wish that you were here by me so close that I could die You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive But I got over you last night and I am still alive 'Til I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules You say love wrecks everything and none of us survive But I got over you last night and I am still alive 'Til I saw your face across the street Through the tears of Hercules
