It must'a been
a place so dark
couldn't feel
the light
Reaching for you
through that
stormy cloud
Now here we
are gathered
in our little
home town
This can't be
the way you meant
to draw a crowd
Oh why that's
what I keep asking
Was there anything
I could have
said or done
Oh I had no clue
you were masking
the troubled soul
god only knows
What went wrong
and why
you'd leave
the stage
in the middle
of a song
Now in my mind
I keep you frozen
as a seventeen
year old
Around for
when you scored
the winning run
You always
played with passion
no matter
what the game
When you
took the stage
you shined
just like the sun
Oh why that's
what I keep asking
Was there anything
I could have
said or done
Oh I had no clue
you were masking
the troubled soul
god only knows
What went wrong
and why
you'd leave
the stage
in the middle
of a song
Now the oak trees
are swaying
in the early
autumn breeze
The golden sun
is shining
on my face
The tangled thoughts
I hear
a mockingbird sing
This old world
really ain't
that bad a place
Oh why
there's no
comprehending
And who am I to
try to judge
or explain
Oh but I do
have one
burning question
Who told you
life wasn't
worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cried
Cause It's not
like you
to walk away
in the middle
of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely
beautiful song
