(Richard Thompson)
(Track 1 - Time 3:28) It was three in the morning when he took me apart He wrecked my house and he wrecked my heart He danced on my head like Arthur Murray The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry Just when I thought that things would get better Right through the door came a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Well, my head was spinning just a little to fast It was writing checks that my body couldn't cash I jumped to my feet, I was reelin' and a-dizzy I went for the phone but the line was busy Just when I thought that things would get better Right through the door came a tear-stainted letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Now, I like coffee and I like tea But I just don't like this feeling in me It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives Looking for the truth in a pack of lies Just when I thought that things would get better Right through the door came a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Whoa, oh, oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord Cry and cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter |

Oh the trouble with the truth is it's always the same ol' thing
So hard to forget, so impossible for me to change And every time I try to fight it, I know I'll be left to blame Oh the trouble with the truth is it's always the same ol' thing And the trouble with the truth is it's just what I need to hear Ringing so right deep down inside my ear And it's everything I want and it's everything I fear Oh the trouble with the truth is it's just what I need to hear It has ruined the taste of the sweetest lies, burned through my best alibis Every sin that I deny keeps hanging 'round my door Oh the trouble with the truth is it always begs for more That's the trouble, trouble with the truth That's the trouble, trouble with the truth And the trouble with the truth is it just won't let me rest I run and hide but there's always another test And I know that it won't let me be till I've given it my best The trouble with the truth is it just won't let me rest That's the trouble, trouble with the truth That's the trouble, trouble with the truth That's the trouble, trouble with the truth That's the trouble, trouble with the truth |

They say I seem different now
Hope I'm wiser any how I've had some time to learn a thing or two I know the change has done me good But I don't feel like I wish I would Sometimes I miss who I was with you Every time your name comes up I just smile don't say too much A button's pushed, my heart gets stuck again I pray it's just a passing thought 'Cause we both know we're better off But sometimes I miss who I was with you Stormy days and sleepless nights Sometimes we even got it right Can't believe what we put each other through In spite of all our chemistry Some things just aren't meant to be Sometimes I miss who I was with you Every time your name comes up I just smile don't say too much A button's pushed, my heart gets stuck again I pray it's just a passing thought 'Cause we both know we're better off But sometimes I miss who I was with you Yeah, sometimes I miss who I was with you |

Well we can try and hide our emotion
Stand there like a rock in a wall But love can take a little old notion And make a living wreck of us all Everbody's equal in the eyes of love Darling don't you kid yourself You can come on tender, you can come on tough Come on and get in line with everybody else Quit what you're thinking of Ain't no one above it Everybody's equal in the eyes of love Some are 'bout as subtle as thunder They just try to barrel on by But love'll leave 'em weak and wonderin' Ain't it funny how they turn up shy Everbody's equal in the eyes of love Darling don't you kid yourself You can come on tender, you can come on tough Come on and get in line with everybody else Quit what you're thinking of Ain't no one above it Everybody's equal in the eyes of love Love can make nothing out of everything Turn something into something else It'll treat a loser like a doggone king And treat a doggone king like everybody else 'Cause everbody's equal in the eyes of love Darling don't you kid yourself You can come on tender, you can come on tough But come on and get in line with everybody else Now don't kid yourself No you're not above it Quit what you're thinking of Ain't no one above it Everybody's equal in the eyes of love |

Well, good mornin'
Tell me, how'd you sleep last night? You're still smiling So we must've done something right Don't feel guilty Because you turned to me, last night We ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long No, we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long It's only natural When you've been too long in the dark To look for comfort And to warm yourself by the fire We're just afraid That we might get our fingers burned But we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long No, we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long Nothing's wrong that can't be cured With a new love All you need is someone like me to Be sure of, to be your love I'll be waiting Standing right outside your heart And I'll be watching For the slightest sign of a spark And I'll be here If you should want to turn to me 'Cause we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long No, we ain't done nothin' wrong We've just been lonely too long We ain't done nothin' wrong We've both been lonely too long Oh, just been lonely too long Both been lonely too long |

I gave up cigarettes, I haven't had to light one yet
And it's been a year since I stopped The same goes for alcohol, I don't touch the stuff at all And I used to drink 'til I dropped Those were tough, this is easy And it feels so good to say Forgetting you is not that hard to do I've done it a thousand times a day Friends said it'd take some time to get you off my mind They thought I'd never let you go Well, I guess I proved them wrong, one more bad habit gone Just like the whiskey and the smokes Those were tough, this is easy Well, I'm all right, yeah, I'm okay Forgetting you is not that hard to do I've done it a thousand times a day I've given you up for good just like I said I would The night you walked away Forgetting you is not that hard to do I've done it a thousand times a day Yes, I've done it a thousand times a day |

You should have seen it coming, now it's too late
She bought the half-price ticket on the midnight train You wouldn't understand 'cause you lie and cheat So she wrote it out in lipstick on your satin sheets She drew a broken heart She drew a broken heart Torn right down the middle in a red jagged line She drew a broken heart and put your name inside She had to draw you a picture to make it sink in Revlon Rose was her poison pin For God's gift to women you ain't got a clue That red broken heart belongs to you She drew a broken heart She drew a broken heart It ain't no Cupid's Arrow, it ain't no Valentine She drew a broken heart and put your name inside No lovesick word's gonna bring her back The buck stops here, buddy, that's a fact No matter who's right, no matter who's wrong Anyway you cut it, she's gone She drew a broken heart She drew a broken heart Torn right down the middle in a red jagged line She drew a broken heart and put your name inside |

He brings her flowers they talk for hours
But he never really says what's in his heart The way he needs her, the way he wants her It's a miracle to feel that way at all Oh, I can't tear myself away From where the rose petals fall Down the path to yesterday I was lucky to feel that way at all The way he learned it, the way she turned it Beyond his wildest dreams to have earned it It was exciting everything riding On whether that one star would keep on shining Oh, I can't tear myself away From where the rose petals fall Down the path to yesterday I was lucky to feel that way at all Oh, I can't tear myself away From where the rose petals fall Down the path to yesterday I was lucky to feel that way at all The way he needs her The way he wants her It's a miracle to feel that way at all |

After all my lonely nights
Without an end in sight A morning shining bright for me awaits Where the sweetest times will last All's forgiven from the past Someday I will One day I know I will Someday I will lead the parade Though they've scattered through the years Old friends will gather near With nothing but the kindest words to say And the sweetest times will last All's forgiven from the past Someday I will One day I know I will Someday I will lead the parade And the sweetest times will last All's forgiven from the past Someday I will lead the parade |
