Richard Thompson
Tear Stained Letter (Live)
[Intro]
One two
One two three four
[Verse 1]
It was three in the morning when she took me apart
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
The scars ain't never gonna mend in a hurry
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
[Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Woah, oh, oh, love love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter (Oh)
[Verse 2]
Oh, my head was beating like a song by the Clash
Writing cheques that my body couldn't cash
Got to my knees, I was reeling and dizzy
I went for the phone but the line was busy
Just when I thought things would get better
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
[Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Woah, oh, oh, love love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter (Set it down)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, I like coffee and I like tea
But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee
It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives
Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of fives
Just when I think I could learn to forget her
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
[Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Woah, oh, oh, love love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Woah, oh, oh, love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter (Once more)
