Lyrics
You d never have loved me, you d never have loved me
Then we wouldn t face this long and painful righting of the wrong, if i d just come and gone Gone, the way i ve always done with summer girls before
you d never have loved me
If i d just come and gone, or a schooner blowin down the biscayne bay, stead of lyin here beside me fearin restless thoughts inside me
If i d only come and gone, if i d only come and gone
if i d just come and gone
If you d only stopped to read, you d be safely tucked away among the pleasure i d remember
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your door, stead of lyin here beside me fearin restless thoughts inside me
If i hadn t stayed so long, if i d have left you in your doorway smilin drowsily at the dawn Gone, i d still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
if i d have left you in your doorway smilin drowsily at the dawn
Then we wouldn t face this long and painful righting of the wrong, if i d just come and gone
if i hadn t stayed so long
if you d only stopped to read
Then we wouldn t face this long and painful righting of the wrong, you d be safely tucked away among the pleasure i d remember Come, you d be safely tucked away among the pleasure i d remember
if i d just come and gone
That might awaken with the breakin of each new day, the way i ve always done with summer girls before
Tracked no footprints cross your polished hardwood floor, if i d just come and gone, if i d only come and gone
Then we wouldn t face this long and painful righting of the wrong, the way i ve always done with summer girls before and, cold hard words i carved on other bedroom walls
Stead of lyin here beside me fearin restless thoughts inside me, if i d just come and gone, or a schooner blowin down the biscayne bay
If i d just come and gone, if i d only come and gone
Shared one night with you and never reached for more, if i d only come and gone, if i d only come and gone
You d be safely tucked away among the pleasure i d remember, then we wouldn t face this long and painful righting of the wrong Only, if i d only come and gone
And heard the mornin coffee truths i told em all, if i d only come and gone
shared one night with you and never reached for more
i d still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
and heard the mornin coffee truths i told em all
If i d just come and gone, if i d have left you in your doorway smilin drowsily at the dawn
You d never have loved me, if i d just come and gone
If i d just come and gone, you d never have loved me
I d still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song, that might awaken with the breakin of each new day, tracked no footprints cross your polished hardwood floor
If i d just come and gone, if i d only come and gone
