| Once upon a time
|
| An angel did what’s right
|
| And took you far from Heaven into the night
|
| And God knew what to do
|
| Cause when he created you
|
| He made the light
|
| All night long in wandering roads
|
| So many miles from her home
|
| Well, I showed you I was only flesh and bone
|
| An angel I won’t be
|
| For long or so it seems
|
| When we’re alone
|
| Because when you draw that heavy curtain, baby
|
| And you lift that long black veil, you’re not alone
|
| I would take your tiny hand in mine
|
| Just to help you understand that you’re not alone
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh baby, you’re not alone
|
| I need your loving, baby, I’m alone
|
| I’m a refugee, honey, I am lost without a home
|
| I need your sanctuary, I’m all alone
|
| You don’t have to run and hide
|
| You don’t have to say goodbye
|
| The night is yours and you are mine
|
| The devil will be our alibi
|
| He will watch our tears dry
|
| Because when you draw that heavy curtain, baby
|
| And you lift your long black veil, you’re not alone
|
| I would put a ring upon your finger, baby
|
| To make you understand that you’re not alone
|
| If you only knew what I could do
|
| To get you back here, baby
|
| To help you make it through
|
| I ain’t no marble statue, darling
|
| But my heart has turned to stone
|
| Because when you draw that heavy curtain
|
| And you lift your long black veil, you’re not alone
|
| Oh baby, you’re not alone |
