lyrics

Daddy, can you hear me? I’m afraid I’ve lost my way
This love I found I left to drown in the Ocean’s stormy waves
I saw love burn brighter than a star and I stoked the flame
But in the end, my wandering hands abandoned it to the rain
When I go reading tea leaves, what I see leads me astray
Lady Misery is waiting, she says I can’t escape my fate
Did I really give up my woman for a future of heartache and pain?
Let courage be my guide the day I speak my true love’s name…
