Tears For The Bride

(album: Harley & Rose - 1990)

Jodi just ran out of luck
Like you do when your plans come unstuck
Nothing to lose the river so wide
Peace in the valley and tears for the bride

Lucy still sits there at home
There are things worse than drinking alone
He calls her sweetheart she wears his ring
But who can say which way love's gonna swing

Ride ride just let it ride
Keep it all locked up inside
Ride ride just let it ride
Save all your tears for the bride

They're tearing the carnival down
Even strangers are welcome in town
Broken windows and rusted wire
Ain't enough fuel left to start a good fire

It's hard to know what to expect
When along the way lines disconnect
Hope for the weary and sight to the blind
But only one love of a kind
