Jars Of Clay - Tea & Sympathy Lyrics
Fare thee wellTrade in all our words for tea and sympathyWonder why we tried, for things that could never bePlay our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphonyNot intendTo leave this castle full of empty roomsOur love the captive in the tower never rescuedAnd all the victory songsSeem to be playing out of tuneBut its not the wayThat it has to beDont trade our love for tea and sympathycause its not the wayThat it has to beYou beginAnd all your words fall to the floor and break like china cupsAnd the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them upI reach for my tea and slowly drink inChorus:cause its not the wayThat it has to beDont trade our love for tea and sympathycause its not the wayThat it has to beDont trade our love for tea and sympathySo fare thee wellWords the bag of leaves that fill my headI could taste the bitterness and call the waitress insteadShe holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two[chorus x 2]Dont trade us for tea and sympathyDont trade us for tea and sympathyWe can work it outDont trade us for tea and sympathyDont trade us for tea and sympathyWe can work it outDont trade us for tea and sympathyWe can work it out
