Lyrics for Song: Tear-Stained Letter
Lyrics for Album: The Trouble With the Truth [1996]
(Richard Thompson)
It was three in the mornin' when he took me apart
He wrecked my house and he wrecked my heart
He danced on my head like Arthur Murray
The scars ain't never goin' to mend in a hurry.
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right through the door came a tear stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter.
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, my head was spinnin' just a little to fast
It was writin' checks that my body couldn't cash
I jumped to my feet I was reelin' and a dizzy
I went for the phone but the line was busy.
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right through the door came a tear stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter.
--- Instrumental ---
Now I like coffee and I like tea but I just don't like this feelin' in me
It makes me nervous it gives me the hives looking for the truth in a pack of lies
Just when I thought that things would get better
Right through the door came a tear stained letter
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter.
Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, cry and cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear stained letter...
