I Didn’t Know You Were Leaving Today

I didn't know you were leaving today
Time runs from me like a girl
I ruined the diary counting down days
On the front porch your rocking chair waits
I'm writing songs like the breaking of day
Forced from my bed by your crying

And maybe I call more than I can afford
But there's no one here left I can pay
I stand at the corner all ready to wave
I'll hang up your clothes if you come back this way

And when the road gets too much for you, drop me a line
I'll welcome you in arms wide
I've had things to rearrange
I moved all the lights to our room
And that white drеss you like, I turned it blue ovеrnight
I hope you can love me this way

I'll stand at the door if you're coming back late
Leave out your coat and I'll wash out the stains
And when the road gets too much for you, drop me a line
I'll welcome you in, arms wide

Come apart on the last train
I'll be the bag in your arms
I'm impatient but quiet
The waiting wife
If I'm driving, I'll drive you away
