On a certain Saturday

Gordon Edmands Myers

On a certain Saturday
I saw an angel
We talked hours off in minutes
But we were dragged back to our hell
On a certain Saturday
I laughed until I cried
I was having so much fun
Watching my last hope as it died
On a certain Saturday
I threw fate off to the wind
I trusted in all my best of friends
All of them left and sinned
On a certain Saturday
I loved with all my heart
As I've always done, to no avail
For on a certain Saturday my angel never saw my heart.
