(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
