(Heaton/Rotheray)

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.
