Uriah Heep

I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed
Down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember
The night that we left home
And the words of warning
Ringing in my ears

More fool you, more fool me ...

New job, new friends and a family
In a house on the sunny side
We played on the wheel of fortune
But it was me that took the ride
It didn't work between us
I had to give it all away
And in the end I knew it had to be

If I've told you once
Then I've told you twice
But I'll tell you once again
Now she's taken away
Most everything
And I've lost my only friend
