Two Tears

Marianne Faithful sings a song about a boy

Who's like the rain and, love, that's you

When you first appeared

You brought me flowers every day

Now where are you?

No one's saying that you should be here

But if you were, the forecast would be clear

'Cause the rain came down

Not outside, but inside

And exactly two tears I did cry

One for each eye

This faithless girl has loved a dozen faithless souls

Now I am low, and you, you're new

When you were first around

I told you all about good friends

In love and true

You said you wished you had a story so profound

But how could you, boy?

You wouldn't stick around

How the rain came down

When I turned and you weren't by my side

Then exactly two tears I did cry

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

One for each eye

(Exactly two tears)

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

(Exactly two tears)

See you in the mirror

You are laughing at your looks

They take up your time

Right, honey? You

Life sings funny songs

And will caress your golden head

And I did, too

You can curse me for the fool that I am still

Oh, where are you?

It feels as though you will

How the rain came down

Not outside, but inside

And then exactly two tears I did cry

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

How the rain came down

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

Not outside, but inside

And then exactly two tears I did cry

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

One for each eye

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

One for each lie

(Exactly two tears I did cry)

One for each sigh

(Exactly two tears)
