  • 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 ever lived without you
    Now you know I'd die
    If I ever said I loved you
    Now you know I'd try
    Babe, now you know I'd try
    Babe, now you know I'd try
