lyrics

I should have never seen her go, turn her back out upon my door
And when the night surrounds me, she'll be hard upon the road
And tending to an empty home, suddenly I'll know
That even for the lies we told, swept up in the storm
I should've never seen her go

She could've been my Mary, merry mother of my child
A girl with eyes like Edelweiss, pure as snow and wild
Born upon the silent wind away in which she has flown
A seed that I cannot define, neither reap nor sow
And I should have never seen her go

So, I sit and drink my coffee and turn to face my name
Call out to the voice that answers back inside my brain
And curse the Gods of Love and War for ever keeping score
Not every Jack should have a sword, nor every Rose a thorn
And I should've never seen her go

I could've been her harbor, I could've been her shore
But what am I to be between this hard place and a stone?
And in the grey and shapeless dawn, I wonder what's in store
For a man with no forgotten past who knows one thing for sure
I should have never seen her go

I should've never seen her go

I should've never seen her go
