He found a letter from his lover

She said she's never coming home

His things were lying on her doorstep

And his tears, they fell like rain

And in his mind, he knew

He'd love her always



Despite the tears



And in this town where few knew love

He'd spend his nights all alone, crying

And all the love he'd once shared with her

Was gone, long, long, long gone

And he knew a part of him was dying



And in his mind

He knew he'd love her always



Despite the tears



Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Lover we tried, we tried, we tried



And in his mind he knew he'd love her always

Despite the tears
