Lyrics

[00:00.24] Lonely the life, that once I led
[00:06.24] Strange the paths, on which we tread
[00:12.49] Led me to you, unlikely but true
[00:18.58] Sabra girl, clouding my view
[00:26.65]
[00:27.05] Rainy the day, the first time we met
[00:33.05] Deep was the talk, forever my debt
[00:39.25] It didn't seem wrong, to sing a sad song
[00:45.66] Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone
[00:54.37] Early the morning, and sad the goodbye
[00:59.87] With a wave of your hand and, a smile of your eye
[01:06.53] So lately did meet, no sooner depart
[01:13.06] Sabra girl, homeward must start
[01:20.79]
[01:53.73] Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand
[01:59.76] Reading between them to misunderstand
[02:05.92] I made the mistake you said not to make...
[02:12.43]
[02:14.49] Yes, reading your letters, conviction did grow
[02:21.11] I thought it a chance, I knew I must go
[02:27.40] It's hard to believe I could be so naive
[02:33.96] Sabra girl, flattered but deceived
[02:41.40]
[03:06.49] Now you just told me that friendship is all
[03:12.69] I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall
[03:18.94] Illusions and dreams, as usual, it seems
[03:25.53] Sabra girl, they've been my downfall
[03:32.83]
[03:34.16] Lonely the life, and dismal the view
[03:40.60] Closed is the road that leads to you
[03:46.82] Since better can't be, as friends we'll agree
[03:53.35] Sabra girl, time will cure me
[04:01.45]
[04:02.60]
