You must have been in a
Place so dark
You couldn´t feel the light
Reachin´ for you through
That stormy cloud
Now here we are
Gathered in our little hometown
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´ve
Said or done
Oh, I had no clue you were
Masking
A troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong and why
You would leave the stage
In the middle of a song

Now in my mind I´ll keep you frozen
As a seventeen-year-old
Rounding third to score the
Winning run
You always played with passion
No matter what the game
When you took the stage
You´d shine just like the sun

Oh why, that´s what I keep asking
Was there anything I could´ve
Said or done
Oh, I had no clue you were
Masking
A troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong and why
You would leave the stage
In the middle of a song

Now the oak trees are swaying
In the early autumn breeze
A golden sun is shining on my face
Through tangled thoughts
I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain´t that
Bad of 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
Now you´re gone and we cry
´Cause it´s not like you to
Walk away
In the middle of a song

Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song
