Why Did I Ever Let You Go?
Why Did I Ever Let You Go?
This house is not a home,
It's a catacomb---
The ceiling's are all overcast.
And looking down at the lawn from this window,
I can see a shadowy design
Of my T-shirt on the line,
And it's flying at half-mast.Why did I ever let you go?
Why did I think that I'd do well without you?
Why did I think I should be free?How could I know I'd feel this low?
How could I know it would be hell without you?
Oh, what a fool a man can be!You'd be right here in my embrace
If I were only a magician---
I move about this lonely place
Like some bewildered apparition.I want to laugh again!
I sometimes doubt that I know how;
You made me half again
The guy I am right now.
Why did I ever,
Ever let you go?
