Where were you
Oh when felt useless and worn so thin
And my heart beat the cadence of a funeral march?
While you walked in the moonlight with him
Where were you
When my spirit was broken and I called, called out to you?
I said "I'm comin' home" but you burned it to the ground
Singing "Sorry, boy, there's nothing here for you."
Well I'm sorry, girl, but I'm not the man
To sit around and pine over you
So farewell, bid farewell, darling girl
Bid farewell to the boy who loved you true
And I guess I knew
Oh yes from miles off I could see this comin'
Oh no I wasn't wrong when I said "it won't be long
"˜Fore that girl be leavin' me alone."
"˜Cause yes it's true, oh Lord, it's true
But the thought of the loss was too dear
I knew it'd strike me down that our love was dyin' out
But I couldn't face the knowledge of my ears
Well I'm sorry, girl, but I'm not the man
To sit around and pine over you
So farewell, bid farewell, darling girl
Bid farewell to the boy who loved you true
Said farewell, bid farewell, darling girl
Bid farewell to the boy who loved you true.
