Dave Rotheray - Bell Bottomed Tear lyrics

[Verse 1] 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... [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 the gentlest touch of your hand We pretend... [Chorus 1] There's a tear, there's a tear Not through confusion through fear, through fear [Verse 2] 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... [Pre-Chorus 2] 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... [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] 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... [Chorus 2] [Outro] There's a tear, there's a tear Not through confusion, through fear Not through confusion, through fear...
