Analysis of LonelyTear
Joseph M. Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)
As I look
Through the windows
Of my eyes
I see something
Falling to the earth
My wonder is wide
Of what it could be
I send a call
To the bottom
Of my heart
And I discover
From what I saw
Was a lonely tear
That was a message
From my heart
Telling me
That it was sad
I looked through
The rooms of my heart
To see where it came from
Come to find out
A dear friend
Has passed from my life
Long ago
Never to return
But my good memories
Filled the room
Of my heart
So no more lonely tear
