Lyrics
Teardrops
Another night has come and gone,
And you?re off to work again.
And I?m lying by myself in bed.
Thinking of the way our love for all these years has been the same.
And I reach to where you lay your head.
Well in the last few months we really haven?t spoken much.
It seems the little things get in the way.
How the kids are liking school how the family keeps in touch.
I guess you haven?t found the words to say.
CHORUS
Teardrops,
Teardrops on your pillow.
You know a woman long enough ?till you think you know it all.
You stop sharing how you feel inside.
Like somehow just by being there, with your coat hung in the hall.
You know everything she feels inside.
CHORUS
And when I reach inside,
There?s always something in there.
That I can?t describe.
Take a look at you.
You?d never know that you had anything to hide.
CHORUS
It?s not as though I?ve been so busy that I didn?t have time to see.
The pressure building all around.
The way you take it all alone and never lean on me.
Your sky could fall and never make a sound.
CHORUS
