Bell Bottomed Tear Lyrics

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 
Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band 
And I'm thrilled by 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 
A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette 
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 
And knowing at least that love came so near 
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear 

Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone 
Root out the photos you've already shown 
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 
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.
