She Said

She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
And now that wisdom has come
And everything else fades

She said she realizes
She's seen her better days
She said she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth

She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today

Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
"But I'm feeling quite weak"
She said
"Will you comfort and forgive me?"
She said

She said she's still searching
For salvation's light
Yeah, she wishes all day
And then she prays all night

She said she won't speak of love
Because love she's never known
And it's moments like these
And she hates to be alone

Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
"But I'm feeling quite weak"
She said
"Will you comfort and forgive me?"
She said

Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
"But I'm feeling quite weak"
She said
"Will you comfort and forgive me?"
She said

Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
"But I'm feeling quite weak"
She said
"Will you comfort and forgive, forgive me?"
She said

"Forgive me"
She said
"Forgive me"
She said
