The Day You Went Away

I was newly born

When I first reached out my heart

And my hand was always there to drag around

I was duely formed

By the hand that sculptured life

But the path you've chosen

The words you've spoken are…

There'll be a tale left to tell

There'll be a family to sell

And there'll be a brother that you lost

Lying unconscious in the well

There'll be a guitar untuned

There'll be a castle in ruins

There was a white rose in bloom

But there'll be a black flag waving over your room

I wanted you

You wanted to

Live life apart

And you lost my heart

On the day you went away

I want a friend

You want the end

You severed ties

So I closed my eyes

On the day you went away

I was misinformed

By a card when I was born

That wrote to me with hands that weren't mature

I thought I was protected

But instead I'd been neglected

By the one I wanted

I'm now haunted by

There'll be a family in tears

There'll be a wasted 7 years

There'll be a broken relationship

With everyone of your peers

There'll be a newsflash 'STAY TUNED'

There'll be a roll call coming soon

There was a white rose in bloom

But there'll be a black flag waving over your room
