Waltz

Words by Finian Makepeace, © The Makepeace Brothers.

A long time ago, before you would know
She took my heart, she carried me away
I think of her still and it gives me a thrill
She took my heart and carried me away

Chorus:
Love’s a bitter thing
When you know it can’t be so
But try, try it any way
‘Cause that’s just all you know

The nights that we spent under stars or in my tent
She took my heart, she carried me away
Our secret was held ‘cause I promised not to tell
She took my heart and carried me away

Chorus

Bridge:
She was causing tension yet I had failed to mention
How in love with her I had become

I can’t quite recollect it, the night was kinda hectic
When she up and went away

She was married, gone from the taking
And I watched her and wished we could love.
Round the campfire, singing songs and drinking
She hugged me and I smelled in her hair
But now she’s gone, she’s already gone
And I just wanted these days to go on
But she already gone
da da da da she’s already gone

Now she is gone I feel all alone
She took my heart and carried me away

Chorus
