Carmen McRae

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry
The torch I carry is handsomeIt's worth its heartache in ransomAnd when that twilight stealsI know how the lady in the harbor feelsWhen I want rain, I get sunny weatherI'm just as blue as the skySince love is gone, can't get myself togetherGuess I'll hang my tears out to dryFriends ask me out and I tell them I'm busyMust get a new alibiI stay at home and ask myself, "Where is she?"Guess I'll hang my tears out to dryDry little tear drops, my little tear dropsHanging on a stream of dreamsFly little memories, my little memoriesRemind her of our crazy schemesYes, somebody says, just forget about herSo I gave that treatment a tryAnd strangely enough I got along without herThen one day she passed me right by, oh, wellI guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Aus Songtexte Mania
