lyrics

Woke up this morning and saw your pillow. Knew you'd decided you had to go.
You're moving on had come and gone this morning for you.
What could I do?

Just like a circus from town to town, you wandered to me, so beaten down.
I took a hand from the eyes of a man who needed me too.
What could I do?

Suddenly he left me in the morning cause he had to be free.
Lovely were the nights we'd lie awake and I was happy to be.
Trembling with his touch that made my world a gentle river at sea.
Gone. Complete.

I'd found the shoulder where I could rest my head.
He'd say he's leavin' and then he'd stay instead.
But I couldn't hear his words sincere cause he loved me, too.
What could he do?

Suddenly he left me in the morning cause he had to be free.
Lovely were the nights we'd lie awake and I was happy to be. --
Trembling with his touch that made my world a gentle river at sea.
Gone. Complete.

So as I move now to smell your pillow, my heart in pieces,
Can't stand the thought of you being gone, to never come, back to do
What more you should do.

Could I have dreamed you? My ghost of passion?
But could my head have such denyin distraction? I guess I fell where love is blue.
What more could I do? What could I do?
