Bell-Bottomed Tear

This is the dinner prepared This is the dress that I made This is the child I brought up And this is the woman you laid This is the woman you laid This is the perfume I wore This is the hotel we stayed This is the way that I lay And this is the woman you laid This is the woman you laid We promised ourselves this is no one-night stand    Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band     And I’m thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand     We pretend There’s a tear there’s a tear Not through confusion through fear through fear This is the smile that I wore This is the song that we played This is the way that I lay And this is the woman you laid This is the woman you laid Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret    A kiss and good-bye and a long cigarette But the pillow I lay on is cold and it’s wet     Can’t pretend It’s a tear it’s a tear Not through confusion through fear through fear And knowing at least that love came so near    Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone    Root out the photos you’ve already shown    ’Cos this one night you won’t sleep alone    Just one night It’s a tear it’s a tear Not through confusion through fear through fear And knowing at least that love came so near    Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear There’s a tear there’s a tear Not through confusion through fear through fear Not through confusion through fear through fear Originaly played in E-Major
