There she goes   With her rain coloured clothes   And a heart that never beat so strong   Well I suppose   Isn't it a shame   That I should let her walk away   Without a chance to say goodbye   On red-letter day      If I had loved the cross   The string that held it soft and careful Place beside her heart   That never stopped   I never stopped to see      If I had the chance   To change that solitary thing   To keep her here   To keep her safe   To ask her please   Don¹t walk away      If I could tie the hands of time   And try to photograph   The empty laugh   That made you cry   To see how much I didn't care      If I had loved the cross   The string that held it soft and careful   Place beside your heart   We'd never part   Don't ever walk away
