lyrics

Here we are once again.
Enemy, lover, foe or friend.
We have trundled down that line
The struggle the victor most the times

Interlude
We are alone as one.
so Farewell my love.
(We were alone as one.
Farewell my love.)

We don’t feel any more
Right or wrong we’re not sure
We suffered thru love all the way
Despite what the other had to say.

Interlude

Can’t you see the pain I’m in?
Hold me close, let me go again
I pray a day where hope was new
Lost all hope in all things blue.

Interlude

The soils deep, the seeds been sown.
Reap the Weeping Willow.
It’s time I fell way down home
Where lonely can be alone.

Interlude
