Richard Thompson - Do All These Tears Belong to You?

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Holdin', lovin', sharin', kissin'
Hauntin', hurtin', tearin', missing
Losing love and losing love again

{Verse 2}
Fakin', fakin', sometimes break
Searchin', longin', hiding', wonderin'
Somewhere there's a face, and there's a name

{Chorus}
We could end it right away
We could wish our lives away
We could twist the night away
Or curl up into a ball
Pretend it's all just a dream
But I've never seen two eyes so green
Or seen a pair so black and blue
Do all these tears belong to you?

{Verse 3}
Wishin', dreamin', bumpin', schemin'
Longin', yearnin', never turnin'
Somewhere, out there, there's a part of you
Fightin', knowin', laughin', rollin', weepin'
Spilling tears (?...) the pieces of the drinking

{Chorus}
We could end it right away
We could wish our lives away
We could twist the night away
Or curl up into a ball
Pretend it's all just a dream
Oh, I've never seen two eyes so green
Or seen a pair so black and blue
Do all these tears belong to you?
Do all these tears belong to you?

Music critic Neil McCormick described Thompson as “a versatile virtuoso guitarist and a sharp observational singer-songwriter whose work burns with intelligence and dark emotion”.
After succes with his former folk-rock band Fairport Convention, he first made criticly acclaimed albums with his wife Linda Thompson. After there divorce he made about 18 solo albums, as well as making it a habit to publiss live performances of his shows regularly. This was a reaction to his fan base, who made many illegal recordings of his concerts. By publishing them himself, he could maintain some quality of recording and profit from the material. This way, a large proportion of his work is available in live recordings, showing his strenght as a performer of his work, both solo and with band (a selection of wich is available on spotify).
