Jeff Buckley - Despite The Tears

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
