She was the evening sky falling She was fading with the light Pulling on her best dress On the last night in July I was everything I laid bare In that half spoken light Watching with a longing That I couldn't put right And if I had my way I'd change the story So it wouldn't end this way Words like love and falling Worthless anyway Guilty of not owning All of our mistakes When nights alone are lonesome Don't let her walk away Let her walk away We were drinking like young lovers Who'd seen too many fights Had my first wrapped round that handle Like I was clawing for my life But the years caught up and played me In the company I keep Wake up desperate and trembling If I ever got to sleep And if I had my way I'd change my story So it wouldn't end this way Words like love and falling Worthless anyway Guilty of not owning All of our mistakes When nights alone are lonesome Don't let her walk away Let her walk away Words like love and falling Crying Hoping waiting wanting dying Looking longing calling finding Hoping waiting wanting dying Words like love and falling Worthless anyway Guilty of not owning All of our mistakes When nights alone are lonesome Don't let her walk away Let her walk away
