The Only Way

You had such a lovely crooked smile And blue eyes that were gray when it was raining And i still have the bracelet with the gold And ivory clovers that you made me It was the only way It was the only way It was the only way Someone said you left there just in time When i was on the other side waiting And i can see you standing with your suitcase In the lamplight there without me It was the only way It was the only way It was the only way Funny how the details never fade The names of where we were And what we did there But all i have are spaces emptied Interrupting memories without you It was the only way It was the only way It was the only way It was the only way It was the only way
