Well I did everything I could But there was something you never understood Well I didn't want to break you heart I just felt that I was following a path in the dark Well there was many a time when you were absent I really felt alone And even when you were present I didn't feel that I was home Sometimes we'd laugh together As if moments would never go by But you know, you were never able To wipe the tears from my eye And those times when I thought to go I'd think of you and tell myself no And the thing you need to see Is that I long to have wings, fly and be free Well there was many a time when you were absent I really felt alone And even when you were present I didn't feel that I was home Sometimes we'd laugh together As if moments would never go by But you know, you were never able To wipe the tears from my eye As the days come closing in Distance between us growing thick and thin Now I see there's a fork in the road And my fingers are itching to let fate unfold Well there was many a time when you were absent I really felt alone And even when you were present I didn't feel that I was home Sometimes we'd laugh together As if moments would never go by But you know, you were never able To wipe the tears from my Eye Wipe the tears from my eye
