Intro.: | | | | | | | |
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 fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar
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 fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar
And knowing at least that love came so ne. . .ar
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed te. . .ar
Instr.: | | | | | | |
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 ni. . . . . . . ight
It's a tear, it's a tear
Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed te. . .ar
There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear
Not through confusion through fear.
