There you stood on the edge of your feather,

expecting to fly.

While I laughed, I wondered whether

I could wave goodbye,

 
D
                 
G
    
Knowin' that you'd gone.

By the summer it was healing, 

G

we had said goodbye.

All the years we'd spent with feeling

ended with a cry,

Babe, ended with a cry,

Babe,     ended with a cry.


I tried so hard to stand 
as I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled 
and reached for the love I found,
knowin' it was gone.
If I never lived without you, 
now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you, 
now you know I'd try,
Babe,     now you know I'd try. 
Babe,     now you know I'd try, 

Cmaj7
  
G
Babe.
