farewell

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.
