Tompall Glaser - If I'd Only Come and Gone lyrics

If I'd only come and gone the way I've always done with summer girls before Shared one night with you and never reached for more Then we wouldn't face this long and painful rightin' of the wrong If I'd just come and gone If I hadn't stayed so long but merely parked my dusty boots oyutside your door Traced no footprints cross your polished hardwood floor I'd have left you in your doorway smiling drowsy at the dawn If I'd just come and gone And I'd be on a shining silver plane dippin' into Denver Or a schooner blowing down the Biscayne Bay And you'd be safely tucked away among the pleasures I'd remember Stead of laying 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 cavered on the other bedroom walls Heard the morning coffee truths I told 'em all I'd still be on your lips like some unfinished half remembered song You'd have never loved me if I'd just come and gone
