Despite The Tears Lyrics
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
she said she's never coming home
his things were lying on her doorstep
and his tears, they fell like rain
he'd love her always
despite the tears
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
he knew he'd love her always
despite the tears
lover we tried, we tried, we tried
and in his mind he knew he'd love her always
despite the tears

This song was written by Jeff Buckley, but it's performed by the Seedy Arkhestra. Buckley reportedly sings the background vocals and plays guitar on the song. Just had to note that :)
beautiful song. i love the way jeff pronounced his words. :) you can tell he loved judy garland and edith piaf!
I'd found this lyrics online and then I downloaded them after falling in love with the words. The chorus is just....so sweet. I was sorta disappointed that Jeff didn't do the lead vocals but this song is more like a piece of priceless poetry instead of something to be sung anyway.
