C G
She said that time is unfair to a woman her age
C G
And now that wisdom has come everything else fades
F5 C C G C G
She said she realizes she's seen her better days
C G
She said she can't look back to her days of youth
C G
What she thought were lies, she later found was truth
F5 C C G C G
She said her daddy had dreams but he drank them away
F5 C C G C G
And her mother's to blame for the way she is today
G5 C5
Life's river shall rise, (she said)
And only the strong shall survive, (she said)
But I'm feeling quite weak, (she said)
Will you comfort and forgive me, (she said)
She said she's still searching for salvation's light
Yet she wishes all day and she prays all night
She said she won't speak of love cause love she's never known
She said it's moments like these she hates to be alone
Chorus
