If It Never Comes

If it never comes

Will I ever feel good again?

If it never comes

So

If it never comes

Can I find a way back again?

Oh

If it never comes

She was an angel

And I loved her so

She left me in '73

Never to return again

Some nights I'm down on my knees

Praying for an answer

Praying that my prayers move upwards

My cousin Jeffery used to tell me that love was just a lack of information

And that once you knew a person's heart, you could never fully access it

But I said, no way, I don't believe

'Cause in her eyes I could clearly see her heart

And that heart beat for me

Oh, and one day soon

Hopefully not too long

(Never trust a felon, even if that felon is family)

Oh, and one day soon

Hopefully 'fore I'm gone

(But I beg to differ because I knew an angel, and she flew from me)

If it never comes

Will I ever feel good again?

If it never comes

So

If it never comes

Can I find a way back again?

Oh

If it never comes

If it never comes

Will I ever feel good again?

If it never comes

So

If it never comes

Can I find a way back again?

Oh

If it never comes

I was down South in a Mexican cemetery

Where the rumors had led me

And there it was

The tombstone with her last name

The tears I cried that day fell to my boots, forming a river

A river of which I would be swimming my entire life
