Tears In Vain - John Mellencamp

Snow falling on a cane break

Please stop howling at the moon

I got stones in my bed

Stones left there by you

Tears in vain I’m crying

Tears in vain over you

I guess I should know better than

To cry these tears in vain

I guess I could ask myself why now

As if there’s some answer known

I’ll just sit here by myself

As you meet your friend down the road

Tears in vain I’m crying

Tears in vain over you

I guess I should know better than

To cry these tears in vain

I might write you a poem

And put it up there on the wall

I’ll rewrite it 'til you return to me

Sha la la la la la la

Tears in vain I’m crying

Tears in vain over you

I guess I should know better than

To cry these tears in vain

Tears in vain I’m crying

Tears in vain over you

I guess I should know better than

To cry these tears in vain

To cry these tears in vain
