This Is The Story - Buy it at CD Baby Words and music by Robin Frederick This is the story Old as love These two people I can remember The streets and the alleys Of the town where he waited. Standing alone Looking up at her window Still as a stone What did he do? What did he do? Wrote the letter "My heart is for you." Afraid she'd never know A voice that tells you hold on tight With a grip of steel and a heart on fire And a voice that tells you this can't be right Which one is true and which the liar? He had no future She was a rich girl He tried to see her They kept her away For he who had nothing Had nothing to offer In the still of the night She read his letter Swore on her life Then what did she do? What did she do? Sent him a dove Slipped from her room And they sealed their love at dawn A voice that tells you hold on tight With a grip of steel and a heart on fire And a voice that tells you this can't be right Which one is true and which the liar? This is the story Old as love These two people I can remember The streets and the alleys Of the town where he waited. Where are they now? Are they still together? Did it all work out? I never heard I never heard If they lived in the sun I only regret The things I left undone A voice that tells you hold on tight With a grip of steel and a heart on fire And a voice that tells you this can't be right Which one is true and which the liar? |
