true life, about love lost

Song Description

a song about love lost

Lyrics

The 3rd time


'twas not the first she told me she was leaving
It was the first time she ever said goodbye
She said she needed some thing to believe in
I do believe this time she's gonna fly

What ever happened to eternity
How did our lovers' vows become a lie
Face to fate a twist of faith she turns from me
She doesn't have the decency to cry

Kicking through the ashes of a broken dream
The winds of change blows cinders in my eyes
My rear view mirror tells a tale I've heard before
My past is fading silently behind

Still I pretend not to feel the pain
Your icy talons piercing through my heart
You tighten up the grip until you do me in
As I surrender to betrayal's wicked art

The first time she told me she was leaving
I did not see the treachery in her eyes
By the second time she said that she'd be leaving
It came to me as no surprise

Out on the edge of eternity
We cast our lovers' fate to the wind
But faced with fate in her test of faith
She runs from me and we'll never walk this path again

The last time she told me she was leaving
Just reminded me I'd never seen her cry
When she said she needed time just to find herself
I knew she'd found herself in some else's eyes

For the last time girl......goodbye
