Now she didn`t get off to a very good start 
And she tangled with love 
And he broke her heart 
In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real 
I can along , she was seventeen 
With the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean 
She grew up too soon in the shade of my love 
She taught me how to feel 
Loving each other was never enough 
She was watching me grow and she wrote it up 
In a book of life she gave to me the day the white ship sailed 
Farewell my darling , au revoir 
I will pray every day for you 

And she would stay alone while I`m away 
She wouldn`t walk all alone in the city without me 
She would stay alone 
She wouldn`t play in the dark 
With this love inside my heart 

I came home on a summer night 
And the wind in her hair and she looked just right 
There was never another kind of women could see right through my soul 
Suddenly after the southern rain 
She rode out of my life on the midnight train 
And I fell to the ground 
And the world became the last place I should be 
Wandering I will wait for you 
For the sound of your voice 
The dreams that you make 
The book of life you gave to me still keeps my flame alive 
Nobody knows which way I`m going 
But I only search for you 

So won`t you stay alone 
While I`m away 
If we both walk in the same direction maybe my eyes will see you one day 
Stay alone 
And may your dreams come to be 
All your love inside of me 
Stay alone
