"If It Never Comes" lyrics

If it never comes
Will I ever feel good again?
If it never comes
So
If it never comes
Can I find a way back again?
Oh
If it never comes

She was an angel
And I loved her so
She left me in '73
Never to return again
Some nights I'm down on my knees
Praying for an answer
Praying that my prayers move upwards
My cousin Jeffery used to tell me that love was just a lack of information
And that once you knew a person's heart, you could never fully access it
But I said, no way, I don't believe
Cause in her eyes I could clearly see her heart
And that heart beat for me

Oh, and one day soon
Hopefully not too long
(Never trust a felon, even if that felon is family)
Oh, and one day soon
Hopefully 'fore I'm gone
(But I beg to differ because I knew an angel, and she flew from me)

If it never comes
Will I ever feel good again?
If it never comes
So
If it never comes
Can I find a way back again?
Oh
If it never comes

If it never comes
Will I ever feel good again?
If it never comes
So
If it never comes
Can I find a way back again?
Oh
If it never comes

I was down South in a Mexican cemetery
Where the rumors had led me
And there it was
The tombstone with her last name
The tears I cried that day fell to my boots, forming a river
A river of which I would be swimming my entire life
