Sorrow is a lonely road
With rain like your tears
Beats heavy on the roof
On the roof above your head
Tomorrow is Lover's Town
That's been beaten down
The hand of winter holds
The life we've lived

Instead of drowning in dispair
For I find small comfort in a bottle
when we're apart
They say 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
For we always hide the truth
For fear of losing what we own

So don't forget the words that we choose
And constantly misuse
Well they were written down every time we were apart
They say don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart

So don't forget the words that we choose
and constantly misuse
Well they were written down every time we were apart
They say don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart

Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
