If I had known, your heart was down

That lonely day in Greenvilletown

Then I would have been more concerned

But later on, I truly learned

How it can feel in every bone

To really see that you're all alone


But I'll, I'll kiss your head

When death finds your bed

And you are gone


And if I had seen the way it would be

I'd hush your cries when you came to me

If I could do what I did to you

The same to me, and I would love for you to see


That I sleep with remorse

And regret hangs round my door Forevermore


And if I had known the lowering tide

Was lowering with the way you felt inside

If I had Known all hope was gone

A broken heart and a broken home

That pierced my lover's past

And carved a lonely path for her to walk


So if ever someone says to you

"Life isn't fair, get used to it"

Then you should say 

"Well it might be

If folks like you would let it be"


But I'll, I'll kiss your head

When death becomes my bed

And I am gone.
