Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Gentle

acoustic

guitar

arpeggios,

soft

rhythmic

conga

pulse)

Oh,

Charity,

my

love

Thirteen

years,

a

lifetime

of

promises

Now

the

room

is

so

quiet

We

started

when

the

world

was

young

and

new

Thirteen

winters,

baby,

just

me

and

you

I

held

your

hand

through

every

high

and

low

I

never

thought

there’

d

be

a

place

you’

d

go

Without

me

by

your

side,

without

my

heart

I

never

dreamt

that

we

would

drift

apart

I

saved

my

gold,

I

waited

for

the

ring

To

hear

the

bells

of

wedding

morning

sing

Oh

Charity,

you

told

me

I

was

old

That

my

story

had

already

been

told

You

broke

the

bond

that

we

built

for

so

long

Where

did

we

go,

where

did

it

all

go

wrong?

I

wanted

children,

I

wanted

a

wife

I

wanted

you

to

share

my

entire

life

But

you

said

no,

and

now

I’

m

standing

here

Drinking

the

salt

of

every

lonely

tear

Was

it

the

age?

Was

it

the

time

we

spent?

Or

was

it

all

just

borrowed,

just

a

rent?

I

look

at

empty

chairs

and

see

your

face

No

other

soul

can

ever

take

your

place

I

wonder

now,

beneath

a

different

sky

Does

some

other

man

hold

you,

tell

me

why?

Did

you

find

the

youth

you

were

looking

for?

While

I

remain

behind

this

locked-up

door

Oh

Charity,

you

told

me

I

was

old

That

my

story

had

already

been

told

You

broke

the

bond

that

we

built

for

so

long

Where

did

we

go,

where

did

it

all

go

wrong?

I

wanted

children,

I

wanted

a

wife

I

wanted

you

to

share

my

entire

life

But

you

said

no,

and

now

I’

m

standing

here

Drinking

the

salt

of

every

lonely

tear

Thirteen

years,

washed

away

in

a

day

With

just

a

few

words,

you

pushed

me

away

The

silence

screams,

it

rattles

in

my

head

Remembering

every

tender

word

you

said

Are

you

his

now?

Does

he

love

you

right?

Or

do

you

think

of

me

in

the

dead

of

night? (

Melancholic,

weeping

nylon

string

guitar

melody)

I’

m

moving

slow,

I’

m

learning

how

to

breathe

It’

s

hard

to

stay,

it’

s

harder

yet

to

leave

Even

the

memories

hurt

like

a

knife

I

poured

out

all

my

love,

I

poured

my

life

Into

the

garden

that

we

tried

to

grow

But

seeds

of

doubt

are

all

I’

ve

left

to

show

Charity,

my

dear,

I

miss

you

still

Against

my

pride,

against

my

stubborn

will

Oh

Charity,

you

told

me

I

was

old

That

my

story

had

already

been

told

You

broke

the

bond

that

we

built

for

so

long

Where

did

we

go,

where

did

it

all

go

wrong?

I

wanted

children,

I

wanted

a

wife

I

wanted

you

to

share

my

entire

life

But

you

said

no,

and

now

I’

m

standing

here

Drinking

the

salt

of

every

lonely

tear

Thirteen

years...

gone

I’

m

still

here,

waiting

on

the

dawn

Is

there

someone

else?

I’

ll

never

know

Charity,

my

love,

I

let

you

go (

Fading

out

with

slow

guitar

strumming)

I

let

you

go...
