Lyrics

I will pick up my things and I'll move right away
There is no one to stop me and nothing to say
You can stay 'til tomorrow, but I'll leave today
There's no sunshine to peek through my dark skies of grey

I was runnin' my hand through my hazel brown hair
With the pearl of the moonlight a-shinin' so fair
And the dawn's early light with an emerald hue
All at once, she approached with her eyes burning blue

Well, she danced and she sang, in my arms, she did lay
Then just up, like a ghost, she vanished one day
Where I once watched her sleep, sheets were ice to the touch
And I found out my love did not love me enough

I searched high and low, saw no hide, nor a hair
She left nothin' behind, not a trace she was here
And she didn't say much, but she told me enough
Man, my stomach gets sick when I think of this stuff

Now, I'm walkin' a road many men have been down
And there's no one to talk to with no one around
And I'm-a singin' you this song, but I cannot sing enough
Man, I hope you are sorry for the things that you've done

Oh, she taught me to love her and promised to love
And to cherish me over all others above
Where my heart is now wandering, no sadness can tell
Oh, she left with no warning, no words of farewell

Well, she promised to love me, and I called her my flower
That was blooming to cheer me through life's dreary hour
How I long to see her, and regret the dark hour
When I went and neglected my pale wildwood flower

I will try to be better, and I promise to be
And she will no more cry from somebody like me
Man, I wish I could tell her that I'm doing fine
But I won't waste her time with another white lie
