seven tears

Bruce Springsteen

I had a wife, I had a child
I had a home upon a hill
Had a good life for seven years
Now all I ve got is seven tears

Went down to see my gypsy man
He said, Now son, I understand
When I said, I want one for every year
He tattooed on my face these seven tears

Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears
I want one for every happy year
My baby s gone, she s gone, gone, gone
And I ll cry forev?r, ever on

When I walk out into th? lights of town
People see me comin and they gather round
They wanna know how I ended up here
With this tattoo on my face of seven tears

Well, seven tears, oh, seven tears
I want one for every happy year
My baby s gone, she s gone, gone, gone
And I ll cry forever, ever on
