Daniel Cohen - For A While There Was You lyrics

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]
