There she goes

With her rain coloured clothes

And a heart that never beat so strong

Well I suppose

Isn't it a shame

That I should let her walk away

Without a chance to say goodbye

On red-letter day



If I had loved the cross

The string that held it soft and careful Place beside her heart

That never stopped

I never stopped to see



If I had the chance

To change that solitary thing

To keep her here

To keep her safe

To ask her please

Don¹t walk away



If I could tie the hands of time

And try to photograph

The empty laugh

That made you cry

To see how much I didn't care



If I had loved the cross

The string that held it soft and careful

Place beside your heart

We'd never part

Don't ever walk away
