The Day You Went Away
I was newly born
When I first reached out my heart
And my hand was always there to drag around
I was duely formed
By the hand that sculptured life
But the path you ve chosen
The words you ve spoken are
There ll be a tale left to tell
There ll be a family to sell
And there ll be a brother that you lost
Lying unconscious in the well
There ll be a guitar untuned
There ll be a castle in ruins
There was a white rose in bloom
But there ll be a black flag waving over your room
I wanted you
You wanted to
Live life apart
And you lost my heart
On the day you went away
I want a friend
You want the end
You severed ties
So I closed my eyes
On the day you went away
I was misinformed
By a card when I was born
That wrote to me with hands that weren t mature
I thought I was protected
But instead I d been neglected
By the one I wanted
I m now haunted by
There ll be a family in tears
There ll be a wasted 7 years
There ll be a broken relationship
With everyone of your peers
There ll be a newsflash STAY TUNED
There ll be a roll call coming soon
There was a white rose in bloom
But there ll be a black flag waving over your room
