|
Now she didn't get off to a very good start |
|
And she tangled with love |
|
And he broke her heart |
|
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real |
|
I can along , she was seventeen |
|
With the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean |
|
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love |
|
She taught me how to feel |
|
Loving each other was never enough |
|
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up |
|
In a book of life she gave to me the day the white ship sailed |
|
Farewell my darling , au revoir |
|
I will pray every day for you |
|
And she would stay alone while I'm away |
|
She wouldn't walk all alone in the city without me |
|
She would stay alone |
|
She wouldn't play in the dark |
|
With this love inside my heart |
|
I came home on a summer night |
|
And the wind in her hair and she looked just right |
|
There was never another kind of women could see right through my soul |
|
Suddenly after the southern rain |
|
She rode out of my life on the midnight train |
|
And I fell to the ground |
|
And the world became the last place I should be |
|
Wandering I will wait for you |
|
For the sound of your voice |
|
The dreams that you make |
|
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive |
|
Nobody knows which way I'm going |
|
But I only search for you |
|
So won't you stay alone |
|
While I'm away |
|
If we both walk in the same direction maybe my eyes will see you one day |
|
Stay alone |
|
And may your dreams come to be |
|
All your love inside of me |
|
Stay alone |
