Sorrow is a lonely road
Where the rain like your tears
Beats heavy on the roof on the roof above your head
Tomorrow is a lovers' town
That has been beaten down
And the hand of winter holds the life we've led
Instead of drowning in despair
For I find small comfort in a bottle
When we're apart
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
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
But we always hide the truth
For fear of losing what we own
Don't forget the words we choose
And constantly misuse
They were written down each time we were apart
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart.
