B        A
Did you see her walking?
Did she come around here, sir?
Black hair, brown eyes
My beautiful Leah

D       C
She was always so needy
B A
Said, "I have no one"
D C
Even as I held her
B    A
She went out looking for someone
B A
Looking for someone

She only had nightmares
And her sadness never lifted
And slowly over the years
Her lovely face twisted

Did she come around here, sir?
I swear you would remember
Black hair, brown eyes
Late September

October
November
December

It never leaves my mind
The last words she said
"If I don't find it this time
Then I'm better off dead"
