You've been lying in bed for a week now
Wondering how long it'll take
You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time
For that was the easiest line you could break

She's been going round her business as usual
Always with that melancholic smile
But you were too busy looking into your affairs
To see those tiny tears in her eyes

Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me

How can you hurt someone so much you're supposed to care for
Someone you said you'd always be there for
But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry
When those tears start rolling you'll be back

Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me

You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it
But now it seems that moment has arrived
She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in
But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight

Tiny tears make up an ocean
Tiny tears make up a sea
Let them pour out, pour out all over
Don't let them pour all over me


The Tindersticks - Tiny Tears

I first heard this song in The Sopranos Season 1 maybe 5 or 6 years ago now. One of my most favorite episodes ever too. They use it when the attempted hit is made on Tony. I don't know why but I find the episode and that part particularly so moving. I see myself in Tony sometimes and vice versa. Maybe because I'm Italian. Maybe because I'm from NJ. Maybe because there's some things in him that are common to us all. I should make a list sometime of movies/shows scenes that movie me like this. Oh well back to work :D
