LYRICS:

These tears i've cried
i've cried 1000 oceans
and if it seems i'm
floating. in the darkness

well, i can't believe
that i would keep
keep you from flying
and i would cry 1000 more
if that's what it takes
to sail you home
sail you home
sail you home

i'm aware what the rules are
but you know that i will run
you know that i will follow you
over silbury hill
through the solar field
you know that i will follow you

and if i find you
will you. still remember
playing at the trains
or does this
little blue ball
just fade away

over silbury hill
through the solar field
you know that i will follow you
i'm aware what the rules are
but you know that i will run
you know that i will follow you

these tears i've cried
i've cried
1000 oceans
and if it seems i'm
floating
in the darkness

well, i can't believe
that i would keep
keep you from flying
so, i will cry
1000 more
if that's what it takes
to sail you home
sail you home
sail you home
sail..
sail you home

She's actually singing to her husband about a situation that created a distance between her and him. It was when he lost his father and their relationship went through a difficult time because Mark was devastated.

thanks!

[zFilmuAktoreczka]

thanks .Is there any chance of geting this instrumential version ? I need to dawload this.I have to get this for my practicals tests for music. I hope to sing this song. HELP

[tchocky12]

The song is about a miscarriage she had. She explained it in an interview. She still felt a spiritual connection to the child and didn't want to let it go. She said she this was he version of "Tears in Heaven" *(an Eric Clapton song about the death of his son)

@LyzMoon > The "little blue ball" is a reference to the Earth. I believe she is using the "ocean" to describe the vastness of the emotions she feels for this person. She has cried tears b/c she sees how selfishly she's held on to someone for so long. Realizing that she has held them down, she will cry even more to help them get where they need to be, even if it isn't with her. I think this song is a beautiful testament of something simple, yet so powerful...If you love something, let it go.

[beatnickblanket]

In every interview she's given where the subject has come up, she's said that the song was inspired by a dream in which the ghost of a black woman visited her by her bedside, and told her of a long lost love...

[Jennyte]

One of her friends lost someone close. Think I read it somewhere

[LyzMoon]

I'm pretty sure she's actually singing about losing her child (miscarriage) -- when she says "will you still remember playing with trains, or does this blue ball just fade away" she means after you die.

[pianofreak14]

what the fuck, I thought it was tokio hotel!!

... god damn it. but it was good anyways. :P

[twister126]

I never knew that! She's brilliant!

[ZeroPointLibra]

Right but shes using the earth as a metaphor for the way it orbits and its water content. Its brilliant :)
