She wanted to cry, I could tell

By the mist in her dark troubled eyes

Of her untold lies

She said with her lips we must part

But not I know with her heart

I held her eyes unafraid
F#
As I struggled with oncoming tears

Remembering days and her womanly ways

of the past few years

Then sadden I was glad were apart

But not I know with my heart

Though time and tears, and love and hears

have shone

I learned to be a kind of me,

alone
[Verso 4]
Bm Dm
And one summer night she returned
F#
Just as stranger with hungry sad eyes
Bm
She asked with her touch
A
That I hurt her too much
G
And I lied

I said with my lips at the start
Em Bb Bm
But not I know with my heart

But not with my heart

But not with my heart
Bm
But not with my heart
