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 one 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 kiss your head When death becomes my bed And I am gone |
