Analysis of Kiss Away My Tears



Stranger
Take me out of danger
Be the rearranger
Of my torn down life

Stranger
Burn incense in the room
abolish my impending doom
Release me from my tomb

Massage me with ointment for years
Kiss away my tears

Stranger
Take me out of danger
Be the rearranger
Of my torn down life

Run your fingers through my hair
Write futile notes that say you care
Bathe me soothe me buy me clothes
Kiss me daily on the nose

Stranger
Come into my room
End my thoughts of doom
Resurrect me and loom
Release me from my tomb

Kiss away my tears
Kiss away my tears
