Dryin' my Tears

Over the years I’ve found

Although it sounds cliche

She still has me spellbound

She’s the one that got away

And I remember the sound

As her footsteps disappeared

I waved goodbye the other hand dryin my tears

You can’t stop the river

From flowing along

You can’t stop the heartache

Of losing the one

Well I tried and I tried to cry away my fears

The truth is i can’t live without her right here

I wave good bye the other ones dryin my tears

We met in the winter one year at a party in a flat

On the north side of Camden Town

She sat on my lap and she took off my hat

She kissed me right there in the lounge

My friends all said she was bad I wouldn’t listen

I gave her all I had in the world

Now she’s out there doing something with someone I’ve heard

But Something is a scary word

I’ve been left behind like leaves by the side of the road

I played by the rules but all I got was the blues

I should have known I’d end up alone

You can’t stop the river

From flowing along

You can’t stop the heartache

Of losing the one

Well I tried and I tried to cry away my fears

The truth is i can’t live without her right here

I wave good bye the other ones dryin my tears

I paraded her round like a Queen from another planet

Though I knew just where she’d been

My heart was enchanted but she took it for granted

I guess it was just a routine

I lost all the friends i had because

I wouldn’t listen

I gave her all I had in the world

Now she’s out there doing something with someone I’ve heard

That Something is a scary word

I’ve been left behind like leaves by the side of the road

I played by the rules but all I got was the blues

I should have known I’d end up alone

You can’t stop the river

From flowing along

You can’t stop the heartache

Of losing the one

Well I tried and I tried Dm to cry away my fears

The truth is i can’t live without her right here

I wave good bye with one hand, the other ones dryin my tears
