Tear-stained Letter Lyrics

    (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 ain't 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
