"The Tears Of Hercules" lyrics - ROD STEWART

So it goes, history shows
Deserts must expand
Camels sail like wooden ships
Like women on the strand
There's a sand on second avenue
And the wind blows like a train
Taxis line up like a string of pearls
Around the block again

[Chorus:]
I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me
Like I was Superman
But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

There's a bus that leaves at eighty fifty
Another one at ten
Should I climb aboard?
Risk everything and ride it to the end?
Watch the heels like rollercoasters
Up against the sky
And wish that you were here by me
So close that I could die

[Bridge:]
You said love wrecks everything
And none of us survive
But I got over you last night
In sadness, empty dies

[Refrain:]
But then I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
I remember everything and every window pane
Every word came back to me
Like I was Superman
'Til I saw your face across the street
Through the tears of Hercules
Through the tears of Hercules
