Bottle O' Tears

(álbum: In The Land Of Salvation And Sin - 1989)

I had an ocean of promises
that never came true
I had a mountain of hope baby
sailed right off into the blue
thought I had everything I want
but then the truth comes clear

All I got left is this one bottle of tears
all I got left is this one bottle of tears

Now come drink one with me honey
yeah one for old times sake
the taste ought to be familiar by now
no there ain't no mistake
grab a glass pour it slow
drinking a toast to the long lost years

[repeat chorus]

It's always been here waiting
down at the end of the line
white table cloth two empty glasses
filled with tears and a bottle of wine

[repeat chorus]

Now it's gettin late so let's drink up
here's to me and here's to you
and here's to hope, love, faith, and dreams
and all the things that we never could do
don't wait 'round on no miracle
ain't nothing close to a miracle here
just lonely, lonely nothing
nothing but this bottle of tears
nothing but this bottle of tears
nothing but this bottle of tears
