Lyrics
A woman I knew
Our love just grew
I loved her from the start
Before I knew
What love could do
It broke us both apart
Keep on straight
Don?t hesitate
No reason to postpone
It?s getting late
I just can?t wait
To find my way back
I left the country
To try to run free
But it didn?t help me none
It was rainy
I had no money
I never found the sun
Keep on straight
Don?t hesitate
No reason to postpone
It?s getting late
I just can?t wait
To find my way back
I wanted you to
See it through
I though you were my friend
But you were untrue
I just withdrew
We reached a bitter end
Keep on straight
Don?t hesitate
No reason to postpone
It?s getting late
I just can?t wait
To find my way back
