|
Sing a song of sorrow |
|
For the young girl who's gone away |
|
She had to return to where she came from |
|
How I wish she would stay, even for one more day |
|
I only knew her a little while |
|
But I'll never forget the time |
|
When we stood on the bridge at the edge of the world |
|
And she asked what was on my mind |
|
Tell me what's on your mind |
|
And I sang a song of sadness |
|
For the moments forever lost |
|
She had to return to where she came from |
|
Though the seasons have changed |
|
The loneliness still remains |
|
The cool clear sunshine mornings |
|
With honey flavored tea |
|
And the notebooks she kept |
|
On the things that she loved |
|
Were open for me to see |
|
All her secrets for me to see |
|
And I sing a song of sorrow |
|
For the young girl who's gone away |
|
She had to return to where she came from |
|
How I wish she would stay, even for one more day |
