he found a letter from his lover
she said she's never coming home
his things were lying on her doorstep

and his tears, they fell like rain

and in his mind, he knew

he'd love her always
despite the tears


and in this town where few knew love
he'd spend his nights all alone, crying
and all the love he'd once shared with her

was gone, long, long, long gone
and he knew a part of him was dying


and in his mind
he knew he'd love her always
despite the tears


don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
lover we tried, we tried, we tried

and in his mind he knew he'd love her always
despite the tears
