Kathleen

[Verse 1]
It's not for you
That I bring this gift of ransomed smiles
It's not for you
That I have traveled here a thousand miles
Calling my name
And though your eyes are very dark
There's still a faint light deep in your heart
To love a lonely man
But Kathleen is gone
It's just that she is gone

[Verse 2]
It's not with you
That I'd planned to spend this life of mine
It's not with you
And yet here you came to spend your time
Calling my name
And there you stood by me without pride
Your eyes still smilin' without tears to hide
To love a lonely man
But Kathleen is gone
And it all seems so wrong

[Verse 3]
It's not your love
That has given me these second thoughts
It's not your love
That's forgiven me the pain you brought
Calling my name
And now the pain is cryin' love
Whispering nothings is not enough
To love a lonely man
But Kathleen is gone
And now I can go on

[Verse 4]
You give me life
That's been martyred in a thousand deaths
You give me life
Then you drowned it in unfathomed depths
Calling my name
And echoes resounding in your eyes
Take me way down within your lies
To love a lonely man
But Kathleen is gone
She's just a shadow in the dawn

[Verse 5]
Today you've come
And tomorrow you will leave again
Today you've come
Yet the sorrow will begin again
Calling my name
And now you sing a mournful tune
The rain has now covered up the moon
To love a lonely man
But Kathleen is gone
She's just a memory in a song
