Blues For A Young Girl Gone

Sing a song of sorrow

For the young girl who's gone away

She had to return to where she came from

How I wish she would stay, even for one more day

I only knew her a little while

But I'll never forget the time

When we stood on the bridge at the edge of the world

And she asked what was on my mind

Tell me what's on your mind

And I sang a song of sadness

For the moments forever lost

She had to return to where she came from

Though the seasons have changed

The loneliness still remains

The cool clear sunshine mornings

With honey flavored tea

And the notebooks she kept

On the things that she loved

Were open for me to see

All her secrets for me to see

And I sing a song of sorrow

For the young girl who's gone away

She had to return to where she came from

How I wish she would stay, even for one more day
