Counting Teardrops - Emile Ford & The Checkmates

Ev’ryday I sit here a-bawlin'

Just like a little kid

You told me to cry you a river

Believe it or not, I did

'Cos I’ve been countin' teardrops instead of sheep

Honey, honey, I just can’t sleep

Because I miss (Yeah-yeah) you so (Yeah-yeah-yeah)

Since you’re gone the teardrops flow

You told me I cry lonely teardrops

For treatin' you so mean

All I need to keep me from drownin'

Is a plumber or a submarine

'Cos I’ve been countin' teardrops instead of sheep

Honey, honey, I just can’t sleep

Because I miss (Yeah-yeah) you so (Yeah-yeah-yeah)

Since you’ve gone the teardrops flow

Forty days and forty nights

I sit here in the gloom

Well, if you don’t call or come back soon

I’m gonna drown in my living room

I hear tell they got seven oceans

Up to the present day

If you don’t come back soon, pretty baby

I’m gonna make it eight

'Cos I’ve been countin' teardrops instead of sheep

Honey, honey, I just can’t sleep

Because I miss (Yeah-yeah) you so (Yeah-yeah-yeah)

Since you’ve gone the teardrops flow

Countin' teardrops instead of sheep

Countin' teardrops instead of sheep

Countin' teardrops instead… FADE
