R.e.m. - Last Date lyrics

It's over, our love affair Too late now, I find I care Her sweet love never more I'll share Now she's gone, I'm alone I was wrong, should have known Took her home after our last date I searched for a simple way To tell her what I had to say And I kissed her, then I turned away Set her free foolishly Destiny, misery Tragedy on our last date Took my ring from my trembling finger Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes Walked away, didn't know That I'll soon miss her so I guess I was too young to realize So blind, I couldn't see How much she really meant to me And that soon she would always be On my mind, in my heart I was blind from the start Lost her love on our last date
