[Intro: Aaron Gillespie]
I tried so hard to be her day...
(...yad reh eb ot drah os deirt I)
But the night has already taken me away...
(...yawa em nekat ydaerla sah thgin eht tuB)
I tried so hard to be her day...
(...yad reh eb ot drah os deirt I)
But the night has already taken me away...
[Verse 1: Dallas Taylor]
Shedding dreams under the maple tree
Where I carved your name
[Breakdown: Dallas Taylor]
Nothing left, not even time
Straight reads the line
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Pre-Chorus: Dallas Taylor]
His life had reached the end
Wanting only to be loved by Adrienne
[Chorus: Dallas Taylor]
Letters explained his grief
But she would never read
His wrists would bleed
But she would never see
[Post-Chorus: Dallas Taylor]
So he took his life at the age of 23
[Bridge: Dallas Taylor]
And she had always loved him
But he would never know
For she covered her love
Like stars cover the sky
[Refrain: Dallas Taylor]
Hiding her heart, fearing what he would find inside
Years took her away, a widow she remained
Holding him deep inside, wishing she too would die
Holding him deep inside, wishing she too would die
[Outro: Aaron Gillespie]
Time favors no one, and if we wait
We too, can fall in love a second too late
