Too Many Tears.

Because she would not listen....
Now she sits and stares,
stares...
At the bare walls before her.
She sits and stares and and tears fill her eyes,
As she remembers the lies,
lies...
From her lover.
He swore never,
never...
to leave her.
Mama warned her...
but she just would not listen.
Now she sits and stares and tears fill her eyes,
her haughtiness gone,
the smile on her her face no more,
He filled her up and left,
left...
She sits and stares and tears and tears fill her eyes,
As she cradles the poor bastard child,
in her tiny arms.
She sits and stares and tears fill her eyes,
Because she would not listen...
