[Verse 1] Snow falling on a cane break Please stop howling at the moon I got stones in my bed Stones left there by you [Chorus] Tears in vain I’m crying Tears in vain over you I guess I should know better than To cry these tears in vain [Verse 2] I guess I could ask myself why now As if there’s some answer known I’ll just sit here by myself As you meet your friend down the road [Chorus] Tears in vain I’m crying Tears in vain over you I guess I should know better than To cry these tears in vain [Verse 3] I might write you a poem And put it up there on the wall I’ll rewrite it ’til you return to me Sha la la la la la la [Chorus] Tears in vain I’m crying Tears in vain over you I guess I should know better than To cry these tears in vain Tears in vain I’m crying Tears in vain over you I guess I should know better than To cry these tears in vain To cry these tears in vain
