Intro: /
Ev ry thing s all right
And then she s all the time in my neighborhood
She cries both day and night
I know it cause she was there
It s a milestone but she s down on her luck
And the day makes her lonely
And it s so hard to buck, I was there
I believe that she d stop him if she d fine time to care
I believe that she d look upon beside em and care
And I d go by her now and she s on my way
/
But I don t belong there
No I don t belong to her
I don t belong to anybody
She s my prize forsaken angel
But she don t hear me cry
She s a lone-hearted mystic
And she can carry on
When I m there, she s all right
But she s not when I m gone
Heaven knows she s the answer she don t call on no one
She s a wave, a thing of beauty she s mine for the one
And I m not hesitating by temptation lest it runs
Which she don t follow me but I m not there, I m gone
Now I ll cry tonight, like I cried the night before
And I ll feast on her eyes but I ll dream about the door
So long, Jesus, savior, blind faith worth to tell
/
It don t have consolation she s my love far thee well
Her smile is contagious I was born to love her
But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her
And I run but I race but it s not too fast or soon
I ll try and not deceive her I m not there, I m gone
It s all about confusion and I cry for her pale
I don t need anybody now beside me to tell
Cause it s all affirmation I ve recieved but it s not
I wish I was beside but I m not there I m gone
