It was bitter that November
And the winds began to change
Life was an ever-dimming fire
You were cold, as I remember
As I took you in my hands
Watched your eyes begin to tire
You pulled me closer with your smile
As you looked me in the eye
Words tattoo'd on my mind
"Babe I love you, but it's time to say goodbye"
"Time to say goodbye"
I walked up to my window
Heard you calling deep inside
Saw your shadow in the rain
I've missed you more than a little
And I thought I saw you cry
It's so blurry through this pane
Why'd you leave me here alone
Did you have to go away instead of coming home
Can't you feel the fear in my eyes
Are you gonna let me in, or keep me asking why
You told me it would be alright
So you told me, yeah you told me
But who will be there lonely nights
Just to hold me, yeah you would hold me
You pulled me closer with your smile
As you looked me in the eye
Words tattoo'd on my mind
"Babe I love you, but it's time to say goodbye"
