lyrics

Radio Tears

Midnight in the kitchen, the radio on
She sit’s there and listens to an old country song
While a scimitar moon like a sail passes through
Out the window…

She thinks of an old boy twelve years ago
Who gave her a last kiss and put on his coat
And he walked out the door
And died in a war no one remembers

Sometimes a life
Is just a long line
Of heart broken nights
To last all your years
Stars that don’t shine
A sad moon to cry
And radio songs
To catch all your tears…

She drums on the table to an old Kitty Wells
A honky tonk angel and a faded red rose
That he pinned to her dress with a promise
A long time ago

She thinks of the last time they danced to the song
He was handsome and grinning in his new uniform
And they salted ‘cross the floor as he sang every word
In her ears…

Sometimes a life…

Someday my love, you’ll come back from that war
Take me in your arms…like you used to before
We’ll dance under the stars as the radio sings
Come back to me love…and I’ll wear your ring…

Midnight in the kitchen she turns out the light
A last cigarette while the radio sighs
For war’s that take lovers
And leave nothing but tears in your eyes…
