Farewell

[Verse 1]
Where were you when I felt useless and worn so thin?
When my heart beat the cadence of a funeral march?
Were you walkin' in the moonlight with him?

[Verse 2]
Where were you when my spirit was broken and I called and called out to you?
I said "I'm comin' home," but you'd burned it to the ground
Singin' "Sorry boy, there's nothing here for you"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
I guess I knew, oh yes, from miles off
I could see this coming
No I wasn't wrong when I said it won't be long
Before that girl'd be leavin' me alone

[Verse 4]
Yes it's true, oh Lord it's true
But the thought of the loss was too dear
I knew it would strike me down and that our love was dyin' out
But I couldn't face the knowledge of my years

[Chorus]
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
