Tea And Sympathy
Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be
Play our hearts lament, like an unrehearsed symphony
Not intend
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs
Seem to be playing out of tune
But it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
You begin
And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea and slowly drink in
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy
So fare thee well
Words the bag of leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy
We can work it out

Maybe love is like the tea, you need taste slowly,that you can know the love's feeling.

I think this song is about someone who determined to maintain his love and himself without going to be traded..
maybe the story in this song is illustrated by the tea. but i dont know what the meaning of this song. maybe this is about the breaking up of a relationship. hehe, i am just guessing.
ReplyDelete*****Intend,captive,bitterness,unrehearsed, thee.
ReplyDelete*****This song is about miscommunication and how it kills true love, what we could have have. And tea and sympathy symbolizes how when we are depressed or heartbroken or sick, tea is supposed to be like a remedy and of course you get sympathy from your friends and people.
