lyrics

How can you roll away so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back

When you came well you came without warning
Picked me up right off of my feet
Did you think I looked a little lonely?
Did I look a little incomplete?

How can you let me down so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back

When we started out the sun was up and shining
Sure we passed on through a little rain
Where you dropped me off the dark clouds are looming
Bitter winds are blowing again

How can you roll away so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back

Well they say that home is
Right where the heart is
In which case I’m homeless
If you’re not here
Should I just keep waiting?
Are you returning ?
You know I’ve been learning how to love you
Where I might have let you down before

Sometimes I think I see you in the distance
With another in your arms
How I wish it was me still there with you
Laughing at your foolish charms

How can you pass me by so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back
