If you see him, say hello, he might be in Tangier

 He left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear

 Say for me that I'm all right though

 Things get kind of slow

 He might think that I've forgotten him

 Don't tell him it isn't so


 We had a falling-out, like lovers often will

 And to think of how he left that night

 It still brings me a chill

 And though our separation

 It pierced me to the heart

 He still lives inside of me, we've never been apart


 If you get close to him, kiss him once for me

 I always have respected him

 for doing what he did and gettin' free

 Oh, whatever makes him happy

 I won't stand in the way

 Though the bitter taste still lingers on

 From the night I tried to make him stay


 I see a lot of people as I make the rounds

 And I hear his name here and there

 As I go from town to town
 
 And I've never gotten used to it

 I've just learned to turn it off

 Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft


 Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

 I know every scene by heart

 They all went by so fast

 If he's passin' back this way

 I'm not that hard to find

 Tell him he can look me up if he's got the time
