lyrics

Lonely Tears
(Evans)

The last time that I saw her
She was standing by the door
Chewing gum stuck in her ears
Goodbye for ever more
I tried to talk it over
But she would’t hear
I just turned and walked away
And cried those lonely tears

Lonely tears
To mourn the flower
That’s died and gone to seed
Lonely tears
To fill the heartache
That washes over me
Lonely tears

There’s not much to remember
With the passing of the years
Her words have all gone silent now
Her face has disappeared
But the loneliness still haunts me
I’m cursed for life I fear
At night I kneel and ask the Lord to stop those
Lonely tears

Lonely tears
To mourn the flower
That’s died and gone to seed
Lonely tears
To fill the heartache
That washes over me
Lonely tears

Don’t you worry I’ll be fine
It’s just a little part of me that’s dying
Every time I cry those
Lonely tears

Lonely tears
To mourn the flower
That’s died and gone to seed
Lonely tears
To fill the heartache
That washes over me
Lonely tears

Lonely, lonely tears
