This is the dinner prepared
This is the dress that I made
This is the child I brought up
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid
This is the perfume I wore
This is the hotel we stayed
This is the way that I lay
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid
We promise ourselves this is no one-night stand
ย
Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band
ย
And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand we pretend
There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear,
through fear
This is the smile that I wore
This is the song that we played
This is the way that I lay
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid
Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret
ย
A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette
ย
But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet
Can't pretend
It's a tear, it's a tear
Not through confusion, through fear, through fear
ย
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
ย
Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone
ย
Root out the photos you've already shown
ย
Cos this is one night you won't sleep alone
Just one night
There's a tear there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
ย
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion, through fear
Not through confusion, through fear
