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 came along, she was seventeen
With the sun in her eye
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 woman
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 angel, 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
