[Verse 1]
Sit down, oh darling
Won't you sit down beside me
Though I fear that I've no good news to tell
Oh yes, hold me now
If for one last time only
And talk to the boy you used to know
[Verse 2]
And tell me all about your man
How he's sweet and he's stable
And he's free with the love I did hide
And make me see how I was cruel
A weight on your shoulders
And he's lifted you up where you belong
[Chorus]
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good-timing man
The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep
Is but a memory
And when you wake up in the morning
With that man at your table
Set perfect for a family of two
Oh please think not of me
But your new true love only
It's enough that I'm thinking of you
[Chorus]
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good-timing man
The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep
Is but a memory
So here's to forgetting
[Chorus]
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good-timing man
The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep
Is but a memory
