If I'd only come and gone

Then I'd be on a shinin' silver plane dippin' into Denver
F Bb F
Or a schooner blowin' down The Biscayne Bay

You'd be safely tucked away among the pleasure I'd remember
'Stead of lyin' here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin' of each new day

If you'd only stopped to read

Cold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls

And heard the mornin' coffee truths I told 'em all

You'd never have loved me if I'd just come and gone
