The Only Way

you had such a lovely crooked smile

and blue eyes that were gray when it was raining

and i still have the bracelet with the gold

and ivory clovers that you made meit was the only way

it was the only way

it was the only waysomeone said you left there just in time

when i was on the other side waiting

and i can see you standing with your suitcase

in the lamplight there without meit was the only way

it was the only way

it was the only wayfunny how the details never fade

the names of where we were

and what we did there

but all i have are spaces emptied

interrupting memories without youit was the only way

it was the only way

it was the only way

it was the only way

it was the only way
