Hello again! I hope this finds you all healthy and happy. Life is not back to anything resembling normal yet, but I’ve been working on a handful of covers and I’m excited to share this one with you. I’ve wanted to give one of The Weeknd’s songs the Bardcore treatment for a while now, and finally landed on “Save Your Tears”.

Lyrics:

I saw thee dancing from the gallery
Thou lookest gay when I am not with thee
But then my presence caught thee by surprise
A single teardrop falling from thine eyes
I know not why I run away
I make thee cry when I run away

With no portent how could I divine
That our love would wither on the vine?
And now I find no favour in thine eyes
I am more ghost than someone to despise

I know not why I run away
I make thee cry when I run away
Though I wandered once, I wish to stay
Save thy tears for another
Save thy tears for another day
Save thy tears for another day

‘Twas my folly in that month of May
When I vowed to thee that I would stay
But ask me not why swans in winter fly
For they can no more bide with thee than I

I know not why I run away
For thou shalt cry when I run away
Though I wandered once I wish to stay
Save thy tears for the morrow
And if it pleases thee, send me away
I would spare thee any sorrow
Save thy tears for another day
Save thy tears for another day

I know not why I run away
For thou shalt cry when I run away
Pray, embrace me for I wish to stay
Save thy tears for another
Save thy tears for another day
Save thy tears for another day
