Larry Bradfield Poet Lay

Sad To Say - Lei

I thought I recognized your face
You left me in this very place

But that was long ago, my friend,
And I thought then it was the end

So here we stand some years later
Waiting on an elevator

And I still love you, sad to say
I never should have come this way
