You had such a lovely crooked smile
And blue eyes that were gray when it was raining
And I still have the bracelet with gold and ivory clovers that you made me
It was the only way
It was the only way
It was the only way
Someone said you left there just in time
When I was on the other side of waiting
And I can see you standing with your suitcase
And the lamp light there without me
It was the only way
It was the only way
It was the only way
Funny how the details never fade
Names of where we were and what we did there
When all I had were spaces, empty interrupting memories without you
It was the only way
It was the only way
It was the only way
It was the only way
It was the only way
