She fell in love, she fell in love
And she fell off the face of the Earth
Stealing my heart, stealing my heart
Tried to say, I just can't find the words
Right words to say or the right prayers to pray
Right time of day or night
She fell in love, that's all there was
And I hope that she's doing alright
She was my friend, she was my friend
And as fine as a friend could be
But time has a way, time had its way
And it carried her off on the breeze
Wind through the willows, rattling windows
Oh, how that wind blows, don't you now?
She was my friend, she was my friend
And I let her slip away somehow
I don't really know, dozen or so Casanovas
Was holding their breath
Watching the action, watched 'em collapse
Until no Casanovas was left
She looked 'em over, she shrugged her shoulders
She stepped right over the edge
I don't really know, dozen or so Casanovas
Was out on a ledge
She was the rail, she was the rail
Oh, and I was the driving wheel
Ten tons of iron, ten tons of iron
Ten tons of iron and steel
Desires burning, the wheels were turning
You'd think I'd learn by now
She wandered off, she wasn't lost
She just did not want to be found
She wandered off, she wasn't lost
She just did not want to be found
