She took the pity from my heart

"She took my strenght by minutes

She took my life by hours

She drained me like a fevered moon

That saps the spinning world.

The days went by like shadows

The minutes wheeled like stars

She took the pity from my heart 

And made it into smiles"

Första delen av "Fletcher McGee"
