If only she could feel my pain But feelin's a burden she can't sustain So Like A Summer Thursday, I cry for rain To come and turn the ground to green again. If only she could hear my song 'Bout the empty difference 'tween rights and wrongs Then I know that I could stand alone As well as they, now that she's gone.
