For A Lover

Alone in the chapel down on my knees
Praying that she would return
I feel so damn small in this god darn world
God how I miss her that sweet little girl
I miss her that sweet little girl

I met her in April
And I wed her in may
By June she was deep in my veins
She scratched at my heart
So I gave her my soul
But it wasn't enough for the girl that I stole
No nothing was ever enough

And it's been such a long time since I held her hand
And it's been such a long time since I was her man
It's taken a long time now I understand
That I might not know her anymore
So honey why you'd shut the door
Why did you leave

Her red hair did glow in the morning sun
As we lay there asleep in the hay
Yes her hair it did glow
And her freckles would show
As we touched in the night
Neath that yellow moon glow
As we touched neath that yellow moon glow

The way that she loved me
No one compares
And her memory I'll take to the grave
She told me she loved me
What more can I say
Now a false hearted lover has taken her away
Has taken her far far away

And I'll wait for that girl til the day that I die
If just for a last glance and to kiss her goodbye
So please if you're out the just give me a sign
Because I can't move on this way
Oh babe why didn't you stay
Why didn't you stay
Why didn't you

So I write down these last words for my darling true
In case she might hear them one day
So wherever you are love and wherever you go
Just know that my feelings for you only grow
My feelings will never grow cold
