Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your Shining Heart

Sorrow is a lonely road

Rain alike your tears

Its heavy on the roof

On the roof above your head

Tomorrow is a lovers town

That's been beaten down

Hand of winter holds

Life we've lived

Instead of drowning in dispair

For I find small comfort in a bottle

When we're apart

They say don't let the teardrops rust you shining heart

I used to drive all night for you

While the children were asleep

As the dawn broke on your roof

Back into the house I'd creep

Where my husband slept alone

Of course he must have known

For we always hide the truth

For fear of losing what we own

So don't forget the words that we choose

And constantly misuse

For they were written down

Everytime we were apart

They say don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart

So don't forget the words that we choose

And constantly misuse

For they were written down

Everytime we were apart

They say don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart

Don't let the teardrops rust your shining heart
