The Tears of Llorona lyrics by Kent Newsome and Robert Clay There's a path leads to the water's edge Green fields beyond but there is no bridge If you listen carefully You can still hear her weep The tears of Llorona flowing down her cheek Water as dark as her lover's eyes And deep like the pain she tries to hide He pledged his love to her and Vanished without a trace The tears of Llorona glisten on her face Chorus: She walks into the water To wash away the pain Lifts her head to the sky And screams out his name They say he returned to the Old World She's always been such a trusting girl The river calls out her name And begs to set her free The tears of Llorona, flowing out to sea Bridge: She's walked every inch of that river bank Just another stone that's been cast away But some stones are heavy And some stones they sink She's gonna find those stones someday Chorus: She walks into the water To wash away the pain Lifts her head to the sky And screams out his name www.newsome.org Copyright 1997
