Tears are that grey area.  Like Kevin's ripple!  Water image?  I still
don't think so.  More like a moisture or secretion image, you know what
I mean?  Part of the problem is that phrase like "flowing tears" are 
such ingrained cliche's in our language that the comparison seems auto-
matic.    

I think I'd be more accepting of Kevin's ripple than I would the tears
example (even though I still feel the 'ripple' in "Pure & Easy" is about
*sound through the air* which negates any water imagery). It's debatable.
