Save Your Tears

You’ve been there before
When you climbed up the stairs
To her door

In your mind you saw
All her bags lying
Packed on the floor

But save your tears
Oh save your tears
Save those lonely tears

You went so far down
In your sorrow
You thought you could drown

When you ran aground
She stepped in
And she turned you around

She saved your tears
She saved your tears
Saved your lonely tears

Were moments that
You don’t forget
The dress she wore
That night you met
You shared a joke
A cigarette
A gift you haven’t opened yet

There were lonesome blues
You went searching
The desert for clues
Now your aim is true
So go and tell
Everybody the news

Save your tears
Save your tears
Save those lonely tears

There is no trick
No mystery
You trust in fate
And you believe
The answer’s there
For all to see
That’s how it was
For you and me

Good times are comin’ back
And your train’s headed
Straight down that track

She just called you back
Said that suitcase
Is already packed

So save those tears
Save all your tears
Save your lonely tears

Mmm
Save your tears
Save all the tears
Save those lonely tears
