Lonely the life that once I led Strange the paths on which we tread. Led me to you, and lightly but true As ever, girl, clouding my view.
Rainy the day the first time we met Deep was the talk as we lay on your bed It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song As ever, girl, soon you'd be gone.
Early the morning and sad the goodbye With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye So lately did meet, no sooner to part As ever, girl, homeward must start
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand Reading between them to misunderstand I made a mistake you said not to make .....................................
Yes, reading your letters conviction did grow I thought it a chance and I knew I must go It's hard to believe I could be so naive As ever, girl, flattered but to deceive
And now you've just told me that friendship is all I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall Illusions and dreams as usual, it seems As ever, girl, they have been my downfall.
Lonely the life and dismal the view Closed is the road that leads to you Since better can't be, as friends we'll agree As ever, girl, time will cure me.
