The Lady Turned Away

[Verse 1]
And the lady turned away
I could not follow after
Nothing more to say
Nothing more to ask her
Frozen in a play
'Tween the sorrow and the laughter
All answers on display
Of your happily ever after

[Verse 2]
And the lady turned away
And took the morning with her
If she had come to stay
She'd have found her heart, I am sure
That regal distance cost me
Far more than I could spend
A thousand broken promises
I could never mend

[Chorus]
I know who you were
And I know where you've been
I know who you loved
And who you left and whеn
I know how you've been hurt
And the story of each scar
Whеn all I want to know
Is who you are, who you are
Now

[Verse 3]
And the lady turned away
Hair matting in the tears
You said you think you love me
You think too much my dear
Can't will it into being
Or will it out, damn spot
You cannot stop an arrow
That already has been shot

[Verse 4]
And the lady turned away
At the very point of wonder
It's the present, goddamn it
It's not the morning after
It's a long way to fly
Just to fly away
I won't let you turn this moment
Into another yesterday

[Chorus]
I know who you were
And I know where you've been
I know who you loved
And who you left and when
I know how you've been hurt
And the story of each scar
When all I want to know
Is who you are, who you are
Now
