myra

her name is myra and her golden skin

is tanned by the sunshine and the wind

she doesn't wear make-up and she firmly believes

in everything that jesus came to teach

i am the opposite of her gentle ways

yet

she remembers me each time she prays

her heart ignoring what her eyes can see

one summer day she fell in love with me

what a pity that it cannot last

before too many summer days have passed

she will be changing and i'll set her free

myra

you have meant so much to me

myra

myra

oh

what can i say

go join the world and i will stay

our lives

so different

it will kill your love

maybe

i'll die with it when it does
