[00:20.225]Red  telephone  sitting  by  my  bed
[00:24.142]Practically  bore  your  name
[00:25.942]Lying  alone  in  the  twilight  zone
[00:32.144]Waiting  for  your  call  to  come  in
[00:36.544]Hadn't  been  for  the  kid
[00:37.994]Who  was  sleeping  upstairs
[00:39.195]You'd  have  found  me  well  on  my  way
[00:46.697]On  that  midnight  plane  to  L.A.
[00:51.597]You  suffered  sweeter  for  me
[00:56.949]Than  anyone  I've  ever  known
[01:08.05]I  dared  to  look  into  the  years
[01:14.836]Would  you  still  have  your  wife?
[01:21.286]I  dared  to  peer  through  my  tears
[01:24.39]Could  we  ever  have  a  life?
[01:28.190]Even  thought  I  was  pregnant  by  you
[01:31.640]But  I  didn't  care
[01:35.40]I  just  talked  to  my  son
[01:38.391]Would  he  mind  another  one?
[01:42.341]You  suffered  sweeter  for  me
[01:50.451]Than  anyone  I've  ever  known
[02:02.377]Once  more  the  mist  rolls  to  the  sea
[02:07.332]Like  a  hundred  times  we've  known
[02:12.132]Trees  are  faded  and  the  clouds  have  stopped
[02:14.847]Where  the  wind  had  blown
[02:19.547]How  I  dread  when  the  evening  comes
[02:21.997]And  I  cannot  be
[02:26.747]What  you  want  me  to  be
[02:29.997]When  you  are  next  to  me
[02:35.101]How  silent  you  are  as  the  veils  come  down
[02:39.401]Before  my  eyes
[02:44.151]Soft  and  reserved  as  you  move  away
[02:48.52]Donning  your  disguise
[02:52.203]While  every  folk  song  that  I  ever  knew
[02:54.753]Once  more  comes  true
[02:59.404]And  loves  grows  old
[03:02.854]And  waxes  cold
[03:07.256]You  suffered  sweeter  for  me
[03:14.756]Than  anyone  I've  ever  known
[03:27.375]Just  one  favor  of  you,my  love
[03:29.825]If  I  should  die  today
[03:36.476]Take  me  down  to  where  the  hills
[03:38.678]Meet  the  sea  on  a  stormy  day
[03:43.980]Ride  a  ridge  on  a  snow  white  horse
[03:46.780]And  throw  my  ashes  away
[03:50.780]To  the  wind  and  the  sand
[03:54.34]Where  my  song  began
[03:58.636]You  suffered  sweeter  for  me
[04:06.555]Than  anyone  I've  ever  known
