Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye
Knowing that you'd gone
[Verse 2]
By the summer, it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
[Verse 3]
Babe
Ended with a cry
Babe
Ended with a cry
[Verse 4]
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found
Knowing it was gone
[Verse 5]
If I ever lived without you
Now you know I'll die
If I ever said I loved you
Now you know I'd try
[Verse 6]
Babe
Now you know I'd try
Babe
Now you know I'd try
Babe
