Flatlanders - Heart You Left Behind lyrics

You told me that this time you are leavin' To beg you to stay would be a crime I'd hoped you would give us another chance to love But I won't try to make you change your mind Love is not easy and time will take its toll But what good is life if we must live alone One day you'll be missin' the heart you left behind So I won't try to make you change your mind It's not the lonely nights ahead that bother me Or knowin' I won't want nobody else But knowin' you won't be happy without everything you need Yes I know it just like I know myself Love is not easy and time will take its toll But what good is life if we must live alone One day you'll be wantin' a sweetheart and a friend So I'll see you when you come home again
