Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Red sun rising in the sky
Sleeping village, cock'rel's cry
Soft breeze blowing in the trees
Peace of mind, feel at ease
[Verse 2]
Now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky
When the sun turned all a blur
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver
And the wind began to moan
It must've been a sign for me
To leave you well alone
I was born without ya, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
[Verse 3]
You never said you love me
And I don't believe you can
'Cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual
And I tried to look the same
But now I've gotten to love ya
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without ya, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
[Verse 4]
Now the whole wide world is moving
'Cause there's iron in my heart
I just can't keep from crying
'Cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known
I was born without ya, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Just a little bit too strong
[Verse 5]
Now the whole wide world is moving
'Cause there's iron in my heart
I just can't keep from crying
'Cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love I've never known
I was born without ya, baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Just a little bit too strong
