[Verse 1]
I was left to die alone but now I have returned
I've been to hell, it's clear to see
No one to lift me to my feet, nobody by my side
You are the only thing I need

[Verse 2]
And when I think I'm left with nothing at all
I will come searching for you once again
You are the only one who's there when I fall
The only light that I need, you reach out and catch me

[Chorus]
All I need are tears of the sun (tears of the sun)
Feel it burn as it drips down your tongue (drips down your tongue)

[Verse 3]
I couldn't move as we sailed away
You took me by the hand, you made me feel safe again
Every night I saw a different place
Could not believe my eyes, I found your warm embrace within

[Verse 4]
I started to shiver and it's too much to take
It's going lonely without you beside me
I close my eyes and feel you run through my veins
And then I'm with you again, you reach out and catch me

[Chorus]
All I need are tears of the sun (tears of the sun)
Feel it burn as it drips down your tongue (drips down your tongue)
Tears of the sun

[Bridge]
Broken, I breathe without you
I need that one feeling
Tears of the sun in my veins
You turn the darkness into light, I feel so low I touch the sky
I need that one feeling
Tears of the sun in my veins

[Chorus]
All I need are tears of the sun (tears of the sun)
Feel it burn as it drips down your tongue (drips down your tongue)
