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
