Flow My Tears (lachrimae) Lyrics & Chords By Sting

Flow my tears, fall from your springs,
Exiled forever let me mourn
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sins,
There let me live forlorn

Down, vain lights, shine you no more,
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their last fortunes deplore,
Light doth but shame disclose

Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled,
And tears, and sighs, and groans my weary days,
My weary days of all joys have deprived

From the highest spire of contentment,
My fortune is thrown
And fear, and grief, and pain for my desserts,
For my desserts are my hopes since hope is gone

Hark, you shadows, that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light,
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite

Hark, you shadows, that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light,
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite
