Tear-Stained Letter - Patty Loveless
(richard thompson) (track 1 - time 3: 28) It was three in the morning when he took me apart He wrecked my house and he wrecked my heart He danced on my head like arthur murray The scars aint never going 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 Well, my head was spinning just a little to fast It was writing 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-stainted 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, lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Now, I like coffee and I like tea But I just don't like this feeling 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, lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh lord, lord, 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, lord, lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
