I've been alone many a year,
she left me here without her light,
all I have are these bitter tears,
memories ghosts of what was right.

I continue on day to day,
finding a way to feel her light,
in darkness of her tomb she lay,
and I in my own endless night.
    Dm      am     Dm     am       Dm        F          C          Dm 
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my true love lay.

Lost in thoughts of happier days,
a budding May basked in sunlight,
two of us in a field we lay,
embraced in love's eternal delight.

  Dm      am     Dm     am       Dm        F          C          Dm 
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my true love lay.

Winter came early that year,
leaving me here in this cold night,
I wish I could give back these tears,
and have her in my arms tonight.
 
 Dm      am     Dm     am       Dm        F          C          Dm 
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my love must  stay

  Dm      am     Dm     am       Dm        F          C          Dm 
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my love must  stay

 Bb                     F
You weren't the one to entrust,
 Bb                     F
I thought you would make it okay,
Bb                 a g f
what you leave me is rust,
Bb                     f
nothing but slow decay.

you can never stay.-- Bridge after chorus
 
 Bb                            f
You weren't there for me,
Bb                               f
I thought love would last,
 Bb                     a g    f
what I feel can never be,
Bb                    f
nothing but the past.(chorus)

Bb                f
Time ticks away,
Bb                          f
soon it will all run out,
Bb         a       g  f           
I have things to say,
Bb                                    f
but there's nothing to talk about.(chorus)...
