Poor Shirley
|
She must hide her tears
|
For nobody wants to see them
|
Surely it will break her heart
|
Time passes as she waits for a friend
|
|
We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight
|
And make them hold off 'til the spring
|
Take hold of their hallowed souls
|
And save them from pain
|
All of the pain
|
Save ourselves from all of the pain
|
|
|
Dearly held are the friends
|
Left in the years and lost in the war
|
Dearly held are the loves
|
Save for the ones you lose on your own
|
|
|
Stars will light up the lonely nights
|
Harbor lights
|
Making us believe in the love
|
So struck by the hope of the harmony
|
Leaving the sorrow
|
Gently
|
|
|
Poor Shirley
|
She must hide her tears
|
For nobody wants to see them
|
Surely she will win a heart
|
Time passes as she waits for the wind
|
