Remember the rain

The fear deep inside

In this cold summer night

First kiss in the moonshine

Hard grip of your hands

It was awesome girl I knew you were mine

GOOD TIME´S QUICK AND BAD TIME´S SLOW

D              Em
FOR A LONESOME BALLERINA

But time is gone

Tears on my pillow

The heart filled with pain

I wish you´d come back to me
