Sorrow is a lonely road
Where the rain like your tears
Beats heavy on the roof on the roof above your head
Tomorrow is a lovers town
That has been beaten down
And the hand of winter holds the life we ve led
Instead of drowning in despair
For I find small comfort in a bottle
When we re apart
Don t let the teardrops rust your shining heart
Don t let the teardrops rust your shining heart.
I used to drive all night for you
While the children were asleep
As the dawn broke on your room
Back into my house I d creep
Where my husband slept alone
Of course he must have known
But we always hide the truth
For fear of losing what we own
Don t forget the words we choose
And constantly misuse
They were written down each time we were apart
Don t let the teardrops rust your shining heart
Don t let the teardrops rust your shining heart.
