I pledged to my love That I wouldn't harm her I kept to her side Kept still by her eyes And the heat came summer Through glass blew the winter And I kept to her side And to warm her I cried hot tears, hot tears When the season did turn I turned to the highway And I broke my promise I left for the mountains But the forest did burn And fell toward the ocean Drenched and alone I swam through my own hot tears Hot tears. For love is richer Than either mountain or ocean So hold onto her dreams While you still know them The pastures are a plenty But my heart is overflowing Soon ill be home And home is my womans hot tears Her hot tears
