I took my chances on a one way ticket home
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I'd known
Thought the time for settling down had come at last
Guess I hoped to find my future in the past
Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be
I will tell you stories of my times across the sea
You're the legenday girl I left behind
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind
And oh your children well the youngest looks just like you
She's a picture of her mother
And there'll never be another
Quite like you
You're an angel and a time that I don't know any more
So good night I'll take my memories to bed
You know that be waking up alone
I should have noticed that the years were slipping by
