Well I did everything I could
But there was something you never understood
Well I didn't want to break you heart
I just felt that I was following a path in the dark
Well there was many a time when you were absent
I really felt alone
And even when you were present
I didn't feel that I was home
Sometimes we'd laugh together
As if moments would never go by
But you know, you were never able
To wipe the tears from my eye
And those times when I thought to go
I'd think of you and tell myself no
And the thing you need to see
Is that I long to have wings, fly and be free
Well there was many a time when you were absent
I really felt alone
And even when you were present
I didn't feel that I was home
Sometimes we'd laugh together
As if moments would never go by
But you know, you were never able
To wipe the tears from my eye
As the days come closing in
Distance between us growing thick and thin
Now I see there's a fork in the road
And my fingers are itching to let fate unfold
Well there was many a time when you were absent
I really felt alone
And even when you were present
I didn't feel that I was home
Sometimes we'd laugh together
As if moments would never go by
But you know, you were never able
To wipe the tears from my
Eye
Wipe the tears from my eye
