Watching her walk away
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
Watching her walk slowly away
I wish I could tell her
Tell her I loved her once
Tell he how much she meant
She left so long ago and there's no way back
There is no coming back from this
I'm sorry I lost you
I was playing in a raffle
I didn't see you exit the back door while I was thrown in games with sunglasses on, dice drawn in the summer
Drinking the bourbon and scotch whiskey shots, loud with my hammer laugh, crushing those spirits around me
Until you left...
