Red-letter day

Red-letter day Lyrics

There she goes
With her rain coloured clothes
And a heart that never beat so strong
Well I suppose
Isn't it a shame
That I should let her walk away
Without a chance to say goodbye
On red-letter day

If I had loved the cross
The string that held it soft and careful Place beside her heart
That never stopped
I never stopped to see

If I had the chance
To change that solitary thing
To keep her here
To keep her safe
To ask her please
Don¹t walk away

If I could tie the hands of time
And try to photograph
The empty laugh
That made you cry
To see how much I didn't care

If I had loved the cross
The string that held it soft and careful
Place beside your heart
We'd never part
Don't ever walk away
