Fifty Lifetimes Lyrics - The Gathering Field

Child of fear, child of anger 

Traveler on the open road 

An ancient car she bought 

with money that he gave her 

When he died, oh oh 

That was the only thing he ever gave her 

Except for failing eyes and curly hair 

And I did not believe that 

I could ever really save her 

Though I tried, I swear 

And if I traveled fifty lifetimes 

Through every country of the world 

I don't believe I'd ever find myself 

A more enchanting girl 

A more enchanting girl 

We made it through the wintertime unscathed 

Talked all night and slept away the days 

And though she had no faith to speak of 

Her silhouette looked saved 

Fading light of day 

And if I traveled fifty lifetimes... 

Saw her by the roadside, 

we went for a slow ride 

As I awoke from sleeping 

I knew that she was gone 

Well they say what does not kill you 

makes you stronger 

Let's just say she gave me lots of strength 

She offered love as fleeting as a lifetime 

only longer 

In a way, I said... 

If I traveled fifty lifetimes...
