Music  -  Lyrics  -  Jackson Browne  -  Here Come Those Tears Again

Here come those tears again just when I was getting over you
Just when I was going to make it through another night without missing you
Thinking I might just be strong enough after all
When I hear your footsteps echoing in the hall

Baby, here we stand again where we've been so many times before
Even though you looked so sure as I was watching you walking out my door
But you always walk back in like you did today
Acting like you never even went away

Well, I don't know if I can open up and let you in, baby
Here come those tears, here come those tears again

I can hear you telling me how you needed to be free
And you had some things to work out alone
Now you're standing here telling me how you have grown

Here come those tears again, now you'll tell me how to hold them in
Here come those tears, here come those tears again

Some other time, baby, when I'm strong and I'm feeling fine maybe
When I can look at you without crying, you might look like a friend of mine

But I don't know if I can open up enough to let you in
Here come those tears, here come those tears again

Walk away

I'm going back inside and turning out those light
And I'll be in the dark but you'll be out of sight

But I don't know if I can open up enough to let you in
Here come those tears, here come those tears again
