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 Im thrilled by gentlest touch of

Your hand we pretend

Theres a tear theres 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 its wet

Cant pretend

Its a tear its 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 192987,-94)out the red carpets and unplug the phone

Root out the photos youve already shown

Cos this is one night you wont sleep alone

Just one night

Theres a tear theres 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

Theres a tear theres a tear

Not through confusion through fear

Not through confusion through fear
