There you stood
on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.

While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,

Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.

All the years
we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,

Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.


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,
Knowin' it was gone.

If I never lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,

Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,

Babe.
