For A While There Was You Lyrics - Singles - Daniel Cohen

I wasn't born to no rich mans home 

always spent most of my time alone 

some folks'll say they never saw me smile 

that I was born to old - to be a child 

[chorus] 

but for a while there was you 

strong enough to pull me through 

for a while there was you 

sometimes that past's - too hard to lose 

with a face that never bore no stress 

it was the way you smoked that cigarette 

lived life in the present tense 

but in your eyes i was just a child 

when you lost your job and went out west 

oh you went out there on weightless steps 

[chorus] 

[bridge] 

you were called the tragic sister giving nothing but a sigh 

though the winter on the river overshadowed your goodbyes 

spending late nights by the mirror, ain't the snowfall left you sleepless 

burning money like a picture all that's left right now is time 

[chorus]
