returning without tears

Ringo Starr

Tell me a story
And I don t care if it s true
Just tell me everything I want to hear
I ve borrowed every hope
Of any prayer and chance from you
Knowing I ll return them all in tears

I was born to hunger
Of the spirit to be free
But gave in to my heart with every year
Believing I could trust that you
Would keep it safe for me
But now you are returning it in tears

I walk myself away now
From the gamble that is love
I follow the parade I ve known for years
Of brokenhearted angels
Who all warn me from above
There is no path returning without tears
