I'm going down When I hear the sound The sound of my tears Always alike at the party Always the clown of the class All my friends see me happy, baby But happy is only a fact Nobody knows When I'm alone inside my room I sing under the two [Chorus:] I'm going down When I hear the sound The sound of my tears When you're not around It's all I can do When I listen to The sound of my tears Baby when I'm missin' you Don't buy the sound of the sea, baby Don't buy the noise of the falls Just when I'm lonely with my thoughts of you The silence is always too loud And it's no mine You know we truly hang the sound It's only just like a sign [Chorus: Repeat 2X] The sound of my tears [Chorus: Repeat 3X]
