I was tired of you telling me you're leaving Every time it came to blows Is it not enough to say it when you mean it And then pack your bags and go
And it was hard to be jealous I was supposed to be having the time of my life But now let me say I would rather had you been vaporized By a lunar reflection in the sky Than to be beguiled by one so banal I just never dreamed it could come to that
Well, darlin' I'm not angry I'm just a little bit confused Well she just chokes the jokes and the quotes of others Though her eyes know not their truths
But still yet, as you lie there May she find you in her arms As a guiltless soul A burning coal that is both hard to hold And to put down That's the way I held you Though I never will again Yours faithfully, friend
