How Longs It Take A Tear To Dry lyrics by The Beautiful South
HOW LONG'S A TEAR TAKE TO DRY?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's, 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 his 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 by 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
