I don't own the show, the characters, or the song, just borrowing. The song is Delta Dawn by Helen Reddy. I recommend listening to the song as you read, it helps make the mood, plus it's a great song.
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you've have on,
could it be a faded rose from days gone by,
and did I hear you say,
he was meeting you here today,
to take you to his mansion in the sky
The people of Roswell still say her name in reverent voice, though the younger generations have added a deprecating sneer to her name. Liz. Once the pride of a small town, she's now the woman gone crazy, searching for a lover long gone.
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby".
All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man
Liz Parker was the intelligent beautiful daughter of a successful business man, Liz had a life that many in the town envied. She had a bright future, until a mysterious dark haired man rolled into town. Max. She loved him instantly, and he loved her in return. The moment she met him, she couldn't imagine a future without him. He became her world.
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on,
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride
Max was still literally searching for his world. Max knew he had to go back one day. Liz loved him anyway. She gave everything up to be his strength to help him find where he belonged. Then came the day he could no longer stay on earth, he had found a way back to his home planet. He promised he'd return for her, and take her with him, since he claimed he couldn't imagine a life without her.

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
He gave her a white rose, promising his love. Twenty-one years later, Liz still wanders the streets of Roswell, waiting for him to return
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
The town of Roswell knows she's crazy, but she still holds out hope, that he'll come back, that they'll be together in his mansion in the sky.
