AMY WINEHOUSE - TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN
All I Can Ever Be To You
Is The Darkness That We Knew
And This Regret I Got Accustomed To
Once It Was So Right
When We Were At Our High
Waiting For You In The Hotel At Night
I Knew I Hadn't Met My Match
But Every Moment We Could Snatch
I Don't Know Why I Got So Attached
It's My Responsibility
And You Don't Owe Nothing To Me
But To Walk Away I Have No Capacity
He Walks Away
The Sun Goes Down
He Takes The Day, But I'm Grown
And In Your Wake, In This Blue Shade
My Tears Dry On Their Own
I Don't Understand
Why Do I Stress The Man
When There's So Many Bigger Things At Hand
We Coulda Never Had It All
We Had To Hit A Wall
So This Is Inevitable Withdrawal
Even If I Stop Wanting You
And Perspective Pushes Thru
I'll Be Some Next Man's Other Woman Soon
I Can't Play Myself Again
I Should Just Be My Own Best Friend
Not Fuck Myself In The Head With Stupid Men
He Walks Away
The Sun Goes Down
He Takes The Day, But I'm Grown
And In Your Wake, In This Blue Shade
My Tears Dry On Their Own
So We Are History
Your Shadow Covers Me
The Sky Above Ablaze
He Walks Away
The Sun Goes Down
He Takes The Day, But I'm Grown
And In Your Wake, In This Blue Shade
My Tears Dry On Their Own
I Wish I Could Say No Regrets
And No Emotional Debts
Cos As We Kiss Good Bye The Sun Sets
So We Are History
Your Shadow Covers Me
The Sky Above A Blaze That Only Lovers See
He Walks Away
The Sun Goes Down
He Takes The Day But I'm Grown
And In Your Wake, My Blue Shade
My Tears Dry On Their Own
He Walks Away
The Sun Goes Down
He Takes The Day But I Am Grown
And In Your Wake
My Deep Shame
My Tears Dry On Their Own
He Walks Away
The Sun Goes Down
He Takes The Day But I'm Grown
And In Your Wake
My Deep Shame
My Tears Dry
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Amy Winehouse, Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson
Producer(s): Salaam Remi
This Is Based Around The Background Music Arrangement For The Ashford And Simpson Motown Song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Which Was An American #1 For Diana Ross In 1970.
Amy Told The Crowd At Shepherd's Bush In 2007: "This Song's About When You're In A Relationship And You Know It's Going To End, And You Know You're Going To Be Upset, But You Know That You Have To Do It."
This Was One Of Five Songs Winehouse Recorded With Salaam Remi At The Producer's Instrumental Zoo Studios In Miami. The Songs Winehouse Sketched Out With Salaam Remi Were Decidedly Downtempo Compared To The Mark Ronson-Produced Cuts. The Miami Producer Wanted To Bridge The Gap, And When He Discovered Online Leaks Of Some Of The Isolated Backing Tracks Of Marvin Gaye And Tammi's Terrell's Original Version Of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," He Felt That Would Help "Tears Dry On Their Own."
