I have feared for this day in my life 
Like fire fears the rain 
Behind the veil my sweet blue sky 
Reveals the dark refrain
I run down these broken roads 
Searching for some sacred sign 
Past your house they say you've gone 
Oh to see you one more time 

Don't go down to uniontown
Don't leave out of here alone 
No one cares if you live or die 
When you're out there on your own 
Don't you let deception 
Tear your sweet soul down 
How will I protect you love 

I remember years ago 
I did not know your name 
I held for you the open door 
With a torch and a timid flame
I watched lovers rise and fade 
Just to taint your tender heart 
If love would change your world today 
I could tear this place apart 

No life is lived without regret 
Or consolation's cry 
You're the one I won't forget 
Until the day I die
I will live forever love 
What a tragic cruel cliche' 
I fear it won't be near enough 
As you slowly fade away
