lonely the life, that once, i led
|
strange the paths, on which, we tread
|
led me to you, unlikely but true
|
sabra girl, clouding my view
|
|
rainy the day, the first time we met
|
deep was the talk, forever my debt
|
it didnt seem wrong, to sing a sad song
|
sabra girl, soon you'd be gone
|
|
early the morning, and sad the goodbye
|
with a wave of your hand and, a smile of your eye
|
so lately did meet, no sooner depart
|
sabra girl, homeward must start
|
|
rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand
|
reading between them to misunderstand
|
i made the mistake you said not to make...
|
|
yes reading your letters conviction did grow
|
i thought it a chance, i knew i must go
|
its hard to believe i could be so naive
|
sabra girl, flattered but deceived
|
|
now you just told me that friendship is all
|
im forced to repair the breach in my wall
|
illusions and dream as usual it seems
|
sabra girl, they have been my downfall
|
|
lonely the life, and dismal the view
|
closed is the road, that leads to you
|
since better cant be, as friends we'll agree
|
sabra girl, time will cure me
|
