The Lady Turned Away

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And the lady turned away I could not follow after Nothing more to say Nothing more to ask her Frozen in a play 'Tween the sorrow and the laughter All answers on display Of your happily ever after [Verse 2] And the lady turned away And took the morning with her If she had come to stay She'd have found her heart, I am sure That regal distance cost me Far more than I could spend A thousand broken promises I could never mend [Chorus] I know who you were And I know where you've been I know who you loved And who you left and whеn I know how you've been hurt And the story of each scar Whеn all I want to know Is who you are, who you are Now [Verse 3] And the lady turned away Hair matting in the tears You said you think you love me You think too much my dear Can't will it into being Or will it out, damn spot You cannot stop an arrow That already has been shot [Verse 4] And the lady turned away At the very point of wonder It's the present, goddamn it It's not the morning after It's a long way to fly Just to fly away I won't let you turn this moment Into another yesterday [Chorus] I know who you were And I know where you've been I know who you loved And who you left and when I know how you've been hurt And the story of each scar When all I want to know Is who you are, who you are Now
