I sat bored at my piano
When he walked into the bar
When he nodded from his table
I said I know just how things are
Cause the only time I see you
Is when youve made your lady cry
And you always say youll only stay
Till all her tears are dry
Now for months Ive watched you wrestle
With that other side of you
Youre scared one day youll lose your temper
Yes and then youll lose her too
Oh they say that love is brutal
And for years shes paid the price
It might be too late you best not wait
Till all her tears are dry
Chorus
You better run to her and fall on your knees
Swear that youll be the man
Shes wanted you to be
Then by the grace of god
Shell let you lay there by her side
And hold her gently
Till all her tears are dry
(repeat chorus)
Hold her gently
Till all her tears are dry
