The Lover
Hey there lover don't you feel so bad There aint no one gonna take what you once had Oh you won so many battles but you lost the war Now it's time to pack and leave for brighter shores
So you tore up half your letters Marked the rest “return to sender” Tore every last picture off the wall
Hey there lover I know she's done you wrong But what she gave you first won't do you any harm
Well she faded into silence Left you standing in the aisle When morning came you dropped that dried bouquet
But you know she really loved you Though now there's nothing to hold on to You know certain things can never be undone
So hold your head up high, lover Drink that wine and toast your lover Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Even if she's gone and far away
Oh can you remember – what you had From the first of November – and what was said That passed away By the very first of May
I met a lover yesterday on bended knee He aint waiting for no one to set him free See he grew his beard and watched the autumn fade to gray Sittin by the kitchen window, he's drawn the shade
And the faces laugh around him “You're a fool you lonely bastard, don't you want to be a happy man like me”
But he smiles, his eyes a-shining “My friend you miss the silver lining There's only one truth I've come to know”
