He found a letter from his lover
  She said she's never coming home
  His things were lying on her doorstep
  And his tears, they fell like rain
  And in his mind, he knew
  He'd love her always
  
  Despite the tears
  
  And in this town where few knew love
  He'd spend his nights all alone, crying
  And all the love he'd once shared with her
  Was gone, long, long, long gone
  And he knew a part of him was dying
  
  And in his mind
  He knew he'd love her always
  
  Despite the tears
  
  Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
  Lover we tried, we tried, we tried
  
  And in his mind he knew he'd love her always
  Despite the tears
