Pieta Brown - Why Now lyrics

If I loved you like a woman Maybe I would be your bride But I love you like a child And so my heart is wild Just like a diamond is a secret In the hands of a thief Your light just like an angel Is the devil in my grief Why now this way? I'm not afraid to die Not afraid to die alone But it's hard to say goodbye Without ever having known My daddy is a pirate One look and you will see And so I would be a traitor If I ever did get free Why now this way? So put a fiddle in the barrel And listen to that sound Nobody is playing It's just my love coming down Here comes the captain A rope in his right hand So hang a flag for me When you find your promised land Why now this way?
