On a bright day she passed away, in the morning It's a cruel way, to take her away with no warning He took her hands through every midnight hour And then he saw her fading away like a spring shower I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion He stood to see if he could catch her breathing But it was no good, he understood she was leaving He looked outside the frosty windowpane And then he saw her moving away, Elizabeth Jane I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb But she would not give up the fight for a long time And I see a light come shining in tonight Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion I see freedom light shining in the night I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight I see a light go shining in tonight Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight I see a light go shining in tonight Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight I see a light go shining in tonight Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight I see a light go shining in tonight Baby, it's all right, we couldn't have changed it with second sight
