Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala]
I want my tears back

[Verse 1: Anette Olzon]
The treetops, the chimneys, the snowbed stories, winter grey
Wildflowers, those meadows of heaven, wind in the wheat
A railroad across waters, the scent of grandfatherly love
Blue bayous, Decembers, moon through a dragonfly's wings

[Pre-Chorus: Anette Olzon]
Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare?

[Chorus: Marco Hietala]
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me

[Post-Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala]
I want my tears back
I want my tears back, now

[Verse 2: Anette Olzon]
A ballet on a grove, still growing young all alone
A rag doll, a best friend, the voice of Mary Costa

[Pre-Chorus: Anette Olzon]
Where is the wonder where's the awe?
Where's dear Alice knocking on the door?
Where's the trapdoor that takes me there?
Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare?

[Chorus: Marco Hietala]
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me

[Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala]
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me

[Post-Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala]
I want my tears back
I want my tears back now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Marco Hietala]
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me

[Chorus: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala]
Where is the wonder, where's the awe?
Where are the sleepless nights I used to live for?
Before the years take me
I wish to see the lost in me

[Outro: Anette Olzon & Marco Hietala]
I want my tears back
I want my tears back now
