Well listen sister have you heard about the holiday Well the other day I fell asleep And now she's gone away So won't you tell me all the secrets That I need to know, before I go And throw it all away Before I go and throw it all away
Maybe theres a couple things That I should have done or I could have done Well I don't kow but she'd still be here today If I'd just changed my old perspective or my attitude Or the things I do Maybe she'd have never gone away
I am done take me home She gave up a long time ago Take the time, take the time And it's a shame he's the last to know I am done take me home She gave up a long time ago Take the time, take the time And it's a shame he's the last to know
So I'll just sing another song about the love and loss to get my point across Bestowing words of wisdom on the way Unless you'd rather hear another one about the rain Or the singer's pain and the important things that he has to say
They were happy in another place Turn back the hands of time Always thought they'd get by Woke up one morning and he heard her say Turn back the hands of time Why'd I waste all my time?
