Red-letter Day Lyrics

Red-letter Day

There she goes



With her rain coloured clothes



And a heart that never beat so strong



Well I suppose



Isn't it a shame



That I should let her walk away



Without a chance to say goodbye



On red-letter day







If I had loved the cross



The string that held it soft and careful Place beside her heart



That never stopped



I never stopped to see







If I had the chance



To change that solitary thing



To keep her here



To keep her safe



To ask her please



Don¹t walk away







If I could tie the hands of time



And try to photograph



The empty laugh



That made you cry



To see how much I didn't care







If I had loved the cross



The string that held it soft and careful



Place beside your heart



We'd never part



Don't ever walk away
