Stay Alone Now she didn't get off to a very good start. And she tangled with love and he broke her heart. In a crumbling home had shown the childhood dreams were never real. I came along, she was seventeen, With the sun in her eyes and you know what I mean. She grew up too soon in the shade of my love, she taught me how to feel. Loving each other was never enough. She was watching me grow and she wrote it up In a book of life she gave to me the day the white ships sailed. Farewell my darling, au revoir. I will pray every day for you, oh. And she would stay alone while I'm away. She wouldn't walk all alone in the city without me. She would stay alone. She wouldn't play in the dark With this love inside my heart.
