How Longs A Tear Take To Dry Lyrics

    (heaton/rotheray)
    How long's a tear take to dry
    When a woman has no breeze?
    How long's a tear take to dry
    When a woman, when a woman's on her knees?

    How long's a tear take to dry
    When a woman hasn't sinned?
    How long's a tear take to dry
    When the weather, when the weather brings no wind?

    Look i'm sorry that i hurt you
    You look a million dollars and a dime
    Time's the greatest healer
    But love's the greatest stealer of all time

    I'm so sorry, (make it plural) - my heart's broken, (mine's the same)
    I still love you (make it plural)
    You're so sweet!
    The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave
    The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave

    How long's a tear take to dry
    When almighty brings is rain?
    How long's a tear take to dry
    And do tears, and do tears really stain?

    This heart was like a tardis
    I went and lost the key in a fight
    I've never found a locksmith
    Will you be my locksmith tonight?
    (will i shite)

    I'm so sorry, (make it plural) - my heart's broken, (mine's the same)
    I still love you (make it plural)
    You're so sweet!
    The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave
    The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave

    How long does sorry really last
    Is it tattooed upon your heart?
    Or is it hung in a museum
    With your mona lisa, mona lisa ex-ass art?

    I have no summer, (i'll buy you summer)
    I'll buy july, if december makes you cry
    A little or no trace face belies a lie of many days gone by
    A little or no trace face belies a lie of many days gone by
