I CALLED AND SHE LEFT HE ANSWERED FAREWELL IN THE DEEP I LOOKED I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HER PAIN. SHE LEFT A NOTE WITH MUSTY ODOR A SOLITUDE A SAD NOTE IN A SONG. I CALLED HER AND SHE TURNED BUT IT WAS NOT FOR LOVE SHE DID NOT WANT ANYTHING FROM ME IN THE FUG I LOST HER. SHE LEFT A NOTE WITH MUSTY ODOR A SOLITUDE A SAD NOTE IN A SONG. HERE DOESN'T STOP HERE DOESN'T STOP HERE DOESN'T STOP HER TRAIN (BIS) I CALLED AND SHE LEFT SHE TOOK ALL HER STUFF SHE WAS A DESERT OF PLEASURE SHE WAS A DESERT OF PLEASURE THE END OF A GOOD DAY. SHE LEFT A NOTE WITH MUSTY ODOR A SOLITUDE A SAD NOTE IN A SONG. IS A WILTED FLOWER IN THE VASE TRAPPED HER PICTURE ON THE WALL IS A WILTED FLOWER IN THE VASE TRAPPED HER LIFE IN MY HEART HERE DOESN'T STOP HER TRAIN (X4) HER TRAIN.

WELL HE IS SITTING IN HIS CHAIR HOLDING HIS HAND TIGHTLY OLD TOMMY WANTS TO TALK AND EXPLAIN ME WHAT HAPPENED AT SEA THERE WERE DAYS OF HEAVY FIGHTING DAYS WITHOUT SEEING FAMILIAR FACES HE CLUCHED HIS PORTRAIT AND NEVER LET IT GO. HE FOUGHT AGAINST THE HURRICANE YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT SOMEONE CAN BE SAVED IF THEY HAS A GOOD REASON. RITA AWAITS AT THE MANSION SHE'S A GOOD REASON SHE RESCUED HIM FROM LONELINESS SHE EXPLAINS IT IN HER LOVE LETTERS HOT FOOD AND A GOOD MATTRESS HAND STRECHED OUT WHEN HE SHOCK A PLACE TO TAKE REFUGE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG SHE FOLDS HER HANDS IN PRAYER YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT SOMEONE CAN BE SAVED IF FAITH IS THE ONLY WAY. HE TELLS ME THAT HE COULD HAVE SAVED HIMSELF 'CAUSE HE KISSED HER WITH PASSION HE LEFT THE LIFE OF FISHERMAN AND NOW HE'S A FARMER WITH DEBTS HE TELLS ME THAT SOMETIMES LIFE GIVES YOU THINGS YOU CAN NOT BUY AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE GREAT CARE SO YOU CAN'T LOSE THEM. HE SAYS: "BOY, PAY ATTENTION, YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OR NOT BUT NOTHING CAN CHANGE YOU IF IT ISN'T FOR A GOOD REASON"

I WAITED FOR HER IN THE GARDEN EAGER TO LEAVE THE OLD JOHN SMITH HER JASMINE PERFUM. WE WANTED TO FLY AND LEAVE BEHIND THE DARK ALLEY WE WANTED TO FLY AND BELIEVE IN AN OPPORTUNITY.
