There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as
I fumbled
And reached for the love
I found, Knowin' it was gone.
If I ever lived without you,
Now you know
I'll die.
If I ever said
I loved you,
Now you know
I tried, Babe, now you know
I tried. Babe, now you know
I tried, Babe.
There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as
I fumbled
And reached for the love
I found, Knowin' it was gone.
If I ever lived without you,
Now you know
I'll die.
If I ever said
I loved you,
Now you know
I tried, Babe, now you know
I tried. Babe, now you know
I tried, Babe.
