It reads like a fairytale |
|
And that's what it was |
|
Young man in his prime |
|
Young girl from the cross |
|
The most perfect of strangers |
|
And then the night closed in |
|
And the holy ground took care of everything |
|
Now she was a fine one |
|
And he was a handsome man |
|
One look was enough |
|
And away they ran |
|
They spend many happy hours |
|
And then the night closed in |
|
And the holy ground took care of everything |
|
Oh what's the use in complaining |
|
In for a penny in for a pound |
|
I remember the loving time |
|
And nothing else really counts |
|
And i recall the promise they made |
|
With a faith i can but admire |
|
That she'd be the one he adored |
|
And he'd be her hearts desire |
|
It didn't come true in the end |
|
They went their separate ways |
|
He couldn't change what he was |
|
She wasn't ready to wait |
|
They couldn't live in the daylight |
|
They let the night close in |
|
And the holy ground took care of everything |
|
I remember the loving time |
|
And nothing else really counts |
