How Longs A Tear Take To Dry
The Beautiful South
B 799877 D# 668886 E* xx6454 [Verse 1] 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? [Verse 2] 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? [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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? [Bridge] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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? [Chorus] 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
