Lyrics
David
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I look west and I believe
He looks east and he thinks of me
No he won't see me anymore
I open gates that close his doors
Just to know that he lives and breathes
Has to be enough for me
There's an angel walking Earth
One of kind amongst all this dirt
Sat down one day and I swallowed my pride
and I begged him not to leave my life
With a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat
I read you David's final note
Goodbye little girl, don't you forget
Wasted love is a long regret
Goodbye little girl, don't you forget
Wasted love is a long regret
Wasted love is a long regret
