Lyrics

She was taken from me on a cold Sunday eve
As I looked out the window, my babe did leave
And I drove to the ocean the very next day
But the tide didn't move me in any great way
Like it did when we drove down the coast - her hand in mine
How can I go on, where does will come from?
Take me lord - I am done.

From the first day I saw her, my heart was in toil
The most beautiful girl and the luckiest boy
What kind of a world would let love come to be for two people as different as she was from me?
But I guess that the fates intervened and brought her to me
Now it's all over, I'm some mother's son - take me lord, I am done.

When I die, I will fly through the clouds and into your arms
And the love that we shared will connect us no matter how far
They've torn us down the middle and ripped us to shreds
But I will not let them take her out of my head
I will love her 'til the day I lay by her side

It's easy to think that your love is immune to the ways of the world and things that can ruin
Something that's so perfect in every way can be stolen from you in less than a day
And I cry, hell I weep, sometimes I just want to sleep
I used to be two and now I am just one - take me lord, I am done

When I die, I will fly through the clouds and into your arms
And the love that we shared will connect us no matter how far
They've torn us down the middle and ripped us to shreds
But I will not let them take her out of my head
I will love her 'til the day I lay by her side

Where does the love go when life slips away?
Does it carry on forever or die the same day?
I don't think I can make it through any more moons
The sunrise and sunset send me to my gloom
Cuz the girl that I love has been taken and now soars above
I can't believe that this moment has come - take me lord, I am done

When I die, I will fly through the clouds and into your arms
And the love that we shared will connect us no matter how far
They've torn us down the middle and ripped us to shreds
But I will not let them take her out of my head
I will love her 'til the day I lay by her side
