Lyrics
She was born in the shadow
Of the factory she had been working
For Jane and her brothers
There was nowhere else to go
She married a local boy
In 1947
His hands were rough but his eyes were kind
And she knew their love would grow
From my eyes to the river
From the river to the sea
From the sea to the darkening clouds
From the sky back down to me
Follow my tears
Follow my tears
Follow my tears
They sailed to New Zealand
She was carrying their second daughter
There on the dark side
They never knew they were last goodbyes
The first time she saw Auckland
Her heart would not stop pounding
They had come halfway round the world
To start a new life
Now John was an engineer
He worked till the day he died
He left her wanting nothing
For thirty years this was their home
Jane is by herself now
The children call now and then
His hands were rough but his eyes were kind
And she knew their love would grow
From my eyes to the river
From the river to the sea
From the sea to the darkening clouds
From the sky back down to me
Follow my tears
Follow my tears
Follow my tears
