Lyrics
We don't say words that we don't know.
I can't believe that you must go.
I understand you're hurting now but you have got to realize
we never signed up for this show.
Chorus:
I'm hoping you can find your way to someplace whole--
find a little shelter for your soul.
We were so young when we first met.
Your eyes could light the world on fire.
You were so wild even then I knew that someday you'd be gone,
and that just stoked up our desire.
Chorus
Bridge:
I can't take you there I know.
I was hoping baby that you wouldn't go.
Now I lie awake through the night
remembering all our days together--I see you in the pale blue light.
Now I'm sitting by the fire,
feeling low as a flat tire.
I wonder if you're working now or if you're shacked up with some guy
a lonely rose among the briars.
