He found a letter from his lover She said she's never coming home His things were lying on her doorstep And his tears, they fell like rain And in his mind, he knew He'd love her always Despite the tears And in this town where few knew love He'd spend his nights all alone, crying And all the love he'd once shared with her Was gone, long, long, long gone And he knew a part of him was dying And in his mind He knew he'd love her always Despite the tears Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry Lover we tried, we tried, we tried And in his mind he knew he'd love her always Despite the tears
