a ditty for leaving

Sing me a song about heartbreak
about long walks in sweet prarie sun
sing to me how you love some else
and how he's surely the one

then walk along the black creek
down to the shabby old pier
think of me, if you will, for a moment
and how you once held me dear

Sing me a song about lonely
about sitting on november grass
sing to me how you've forgotten me
and how my heartache will pass

then run off to the big tree
the one where we used to play
think of me, if you will for a moment
as I think of you all day

Sing me a song about heartbreak
about the times I made you cry
sing to me how you loved me true
how that all ended and why

then fly off to the city
the one in both of our dreams
think of me, if you will for a moment
and what the end of us means

Sing me a song about lonely
about the taste of whiskey and rye
sing to me how the rain might be
the reason i can't hear you sigh
