WE TALKED UNTIL THE WIND DIED DOWN

THE BABY WOKE AND STIRRED

SHE MADE A LITTLE HUSHING SOUND

SPOKE SOME MAGIC WORD

THE BABY YAWNED AND SMILED AT ME

AS SHE SAID WE CAN'T STAY

SHE THANKED ME FOR MY KINDNESS

TURNED AND WALKED AWAY

REPEAT CHORUS

(Verse 4)

I THINK ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME

I HOPE THEY'VE FOUND A HOME

IT SEEMS THAT IT'S MY CALLING NOW

TO WALK THESE STREETS ALONE

SOMETIMES WHEN THE WIND IS RIGHT

I CAN SMELL HER SWEET PERFUME

AND THINK ABOUT THE WARM EMBRACE

THAT ENDED ALL TOO SOON

REPEAT CHORUS
