Beautiful South - How Long's A Tear Take To Dry? Lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)How longs a tear take to dryWhen a woman has no breeze?How longs a tear take to dryWhen a woman, when a womans on her knees?How longs a tear take to dryWhen a woman hasnt sinned?How longs a tear take to dryWhen the weather, when the weather brings no wind?Look Im sorry that I hurt youYou look a million dollars and a dimeTimes the greatest healerBut loves the greatest stealer of all timeIm so sorry, (make it plural) - my hearts broken, (mines the same)I still love you (make it plural)Youre so sweet!The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the graveThe flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the graveHow longs a tear take to dryWhen almighty brings is rain?How longs a tear take to dryAnd do tears, and do tears really stain?This heart was like a tardisI went and lost the key in a fightIve never found a locksmithWill you be my locksmith tonight?(will I shite)Im so sorry, (make it plural) - my hearts broken, (mines the same)I still love you (make it plural)Youre so sweet!The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the graveThe flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the graveHow long does sorry really lastIs it tattooed upon your heart?Or is it hung in a museumWith your mona lisa, mona lisa ex-ass art?I have no summer, (Ill buy you summer)Ill buy july, if december makes you cryA little or no trace face belies a lie of many days gone byA little or no trace face belies a lie of many days gone by
