Lyrics

It starts at daylight

I see him

Before my sad eyes

I hear him breathing

Oh lover, need you to lead me

No never thought that you'd leave

That was my veil

That was my time

Once held secret

But now lies

No words can

Heal my heart

Inside I'm broken

Now it's done

Was she a pretty girl?

Does she have pretty hair?

Was she soft-spoken?

Was there a love there?

That was my veil

That was my time

Once held secret

But now lies

Give back my veil

Give back my time

No more secret

You give me lies

Give me back my veil

Give back my life

No more secret

You give me lies

Lies
