There you stood
On the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While i laughed,
I wondered whether
I should wave goodbye,
Knowing 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,
Knowing 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.
