Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your Shining Heart

Sorrow is a lonely road Where the rain like your tears Beats heavy on the roof above your head Tomorrow is a lovers' town That's been beaten down And the hands 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 I used to drive all night for you While the children were asleep And 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 So don't forget the words that we choose And constantly misuse They were written down every time we were apart Don't let your teardrops rust your shining heart
