Lyrics:

 Verse # 1:

If you want to take my life away

And turn my skies from blue into grey

If you want the flowers on my hill to die

And all my laughing brooks to run dry.

Chorus:

Then keep on doin’ like you’re doin’ to me,

And you will surely be the ruin of me.

I’ll fall apart.

I feel the trembling deep in my heart

For You, Girl.

Verse # 2:

Girl, you always swore that you’d be true,

But you were true to somebody new.

And you always said that you were mine,

But that was only part of the time.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse # 3:

If we had time enough to play,

I wouldn’t mind your acting this way.

But now the time is getting late,

And mine’s a love that just won’t wait.

(Repeat Chorus)
