Tea And Sympathy

                                  Fare thee well 

Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy 

Wonder why we tried  for things that could never be 

Play our hearts lament  like an unrehearsed symphony 



Not intend 

To leave this castle full of empty rooms 

Our love the captive in the tower never rescued 

And all the victory songs 

Seem to be playing out of tune 



But it's not the way 

That it has to be 

Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy 

'Cause it's not the way 

That it has to be 



You begin 

And all your words fall to the floor and break like china cups 

And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up 

I reach for my tea and slowly drink in 



[Chorus]

'Cause it's not the way 

That it has to be 

Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy 

'Cause it's not the way 

That it has to be 

Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy 



So fare thee well 

Words the bag of leaves that fill my head 

I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead 

She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two 



[Chorus: x2] 



Don't trade us for tea and sympathy 

Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy 

We can work it out 

Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy 

Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy 

We can work it out 

Don't trade us for tea and Sympathy 

We can work it out
