Patty Loveless - Tear-stained Letter Lyrics
(richard thompson)(track 1 - time 3:28)It was three in the morning when he took me apartHe wrecked my house and he wrecked my heartHe danced on my head like arthur murrayThe scars aint never going to mend in a hurryJust when I thought that things would get betterRight through the door came a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterWell, my head was spinning just a little to fastIt was writing checks that my body couldnt cashI jumped to my feet, I was reelin and a-dizzyI went for the phone but the line was busyJust when I thought that things would get betterRight through the door came a tear-stainted letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterNow, I like coffee and I like teaBut I just dont like this feeling in meIt makes me nervous, it gives me the hivesLooking for the truth in a pack of liesJust when I thought that things would get betterRight through the door came a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lord, lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letterWhoa, oh, oh lord, lord, lord, lordCry and cry if it makes you feel betterSet it all down in a tear-stained letter
