Intro
On a bright day she passed away in the morning
It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning
He took her hands through every midnight hour
And they saw her fading away like a spring shower
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
He stood to see if he could catch her breathing
But it was no good, he understood she was leaving
He looked outside the frosty window pane
And then he saw her moving away with his ? chain
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb
But she would not give up the fight for a long time
And I see a light go shining into night
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
I can see a complete life's time
Pictures and posters of times and fashion
Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme
Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom glittering in the night
I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight
Solo
And I see a light go shining into night
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
And I see a light go shining into night
Baby it's all right we couldn't have changed it with second sight
