passing by the market stall
lady call lady call
yellow red ribbon flying from electric wire
near where you and I first met
we were in the game of keeping trouble hid
ever it was coming in the end it did
you were never here
it was never home
you were flying high
I was all alone
I 'd have had to move
you d have had to change
it 'd be too much
for one of us to take
O darlin, what would have happened
if only we'd had a good run
being close, living soft
never fading out, never getting lost
walking on to the city hall
the evening falls, the evening falls
join the crowd of people singing 'we will overcome'
and for a while I felt like someone
we were in the game of keeping trouble hid
ever it was coming, in the end it did
you were never here
it was never home
you were flying high
I was all alone
I 'd have had to move
you d have had to change
it 'd be too much
for one of us to take
O darlin, what would have happened
if only we'd had a good run
being close, living soft
never fading out, never getting lost
O darlin, what would have happened
if only we'd had a good run
I 'd have had to move
you d have had to change
it 'd be too much
for one of us to take
