She left a letter on the table

Said she'd be home by five

The smell of old coffee lingers on my mind

I want to wait to hear those footsteps

Climb those old creaky stairs

Every lonely night I miss her presence everywhere



I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love

I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love



Familiar places that we went

To become like dying vines

Each a painful reminder of love and better times

Such a hard time to get over

Such a deep love that's lost

From the sun, the morning dew

The moon, the evening frost



I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love

I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love

I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love



The heat of passion will deceive you

Make you a different man

Turns peasants to kings

Dry dirt to fertile land

So I've joined the walking wounded

Had my gun at my side

Some surrender, others march until they die

With the promise of you just enough



I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love

I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love

I cry to the sky above

Never give all your heart to love
