I was sixteen when the story began
|
And you used to say come as soon as you can
|
And I'd leave right away with the stars up above
|
The karma stoped and I was in love
|
|
|
And I'd come straight back to you
|
At the sound of your name
|
Straight back to you
|
To see you again
|
And you'd leave me alive
|
And I'd find my way
|
Straight back to you stay¡¦
|
|
When I was eighteen
|
There's the story unfolds
|
And I moved away though the house was unsold
|
And the day that I left, you gave me a ring
|
We were engaged but it meant something
|
|
For I'd have gone straight back to you
|
If I felt that I could
|
Straight back to you
|
To your neighborhood
|
And you'd leave me alive
|
And I'd find my way
|
Straight back to you stay¡¦
|
|
When I was twenty things gradually turned bad
|
And I should have left then and I wish that I had
|
But you said to yourself that things will improve
|
And they never do and it's then that you lose
|
|
For I'd have gone straight back to you
|
If I thought things would change
|
Straight back to you
|
The past you exchanged
|
And you'd leave me alive
|
And I'd find my way
|
Straight back to you stay¡¦
|
|
When I turned twenty-one things came to an end
|
And you live with someone who was once just a friend
|
And before I left I did one last thing
|
I came to your house and brought out the ring
|
|
And gave it straight back to you
|
Though I felt no remorse
|
Straight back to you
|
And then love ran its course
|
And you left me alive
|
And I found my way
|
|
Straight out of there and your way
|
Straight out of there and your way
|
|
