[Verse 1]
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye

[Chorus 1]
Knowing that you'd gone
By the summer it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry
Babe

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Knowing it was gone
If I never lived without you
Now you know I died
If I never said I loved you
Now you know I tried
Babe, now you know I tried
Babe, now you know I tried
Babe
