Loudon Wainwright III - When You Leave lyrics
You left for camp You left for school Left for the coast when that was cool Then you left women; One a wife To save your skin you wrecked a life When there's kids, its not just one life you wreck, you're on the run You go to town to start anew But those you left come after you Its what you think Its how you feel Though who can say if its all real? The darndest thing is kids grow up One day some strange adults show up The ones you left arrive in town "That's nice", you say, "they'll be around Perhaps they're just a bit bereft, but they'll forgive the one who left" Sad stories can have happy ends Perhaps now, you can just be friends Its what you want Its how you feel What's more, you hope your theory's real Who would've thought or could believe Things go so badly when you leave The skin you save is growing slack And those you left don't want you back Your power's gone It was pretend The wife you left meant more to them Its not just that they side with her You left and who knew where you were The reason that they came to town, was just to make the place their own They realized your greatest fear; you are so close but hardly here Its what you think Its how you feel And what's worse is you know its real |
