Story Behind The Song

A girl I knew and liked when she was someone else's girlfriend. She subsequently drowned, and I wrote this out of what might have been.

Song Description

Regretting not making the effort.

Lyrics

LANA

VERSE I
Just sittin' here thinkin',
Wish I knew you better,
But I never took the time,
Am I to blame?

Yes I've read the papers,
I've watched the rain in stormy weather,
Now that I have the time,
It's too late;

REFRAIN
Lana,
How could you leave, this way?
When I have so much to say, to, you,
Lana;

VERSE II
I know I was a dreamer,
But we could never be together,
Could it be I was too shy?
What can I say?

Why did fate take you away?
It took a life it couldn't measure,
If I only took the time,
Now it's too late;

MIDDLE EIGHT
Pretty faces come and go,
Some are worth their weight in gold,
It's hard to cry when you have no tears,
I wish I gathered some throughout the years;
