Il testo della For a while there was you

I wasn't born to no rich mans home
Always spent most of my time alone
Some folks'll say they never saw me smile
That i was born to old - to be a child

(chorus)
But for a while there was you
Strong enough to pull me through
For a while there was you
Sometimes that past's - too hard to lose

With a face that never bore no stress
It was the way you smoked that cigarette
Lived life in the present tense
But in your eyes i was just a child
When you lost your job and went out west
Oh you went out there on weightless steps

(chorus)

(bridge)
You were called the tragic sister giving nothing but a sigh
Though the winter on the river overshadowed your goodbyes
Spending late nights by the mirror, ain't the snowfall left you sleepless
Burning money like a picture all that's left right now is time

(chorus)
