Now You Come Back — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

Well, you said goodbye
And good luck in your Dear John letter
and I thought I`d die
`Cuz I thought we were carved in stone
And it made me cry as I walked through the clear, cold weather
And then I dried my eyes
And I tried livin` all alone.

Well, the clouds piled high
And the snow didn`t make things better.
As the time crawled by
I went down through a dark ordeal.
Then to my surprise there blew
A breeze from the springtime heather
And as it breathed on me,
I could feel how my heart could heal.

Now you come back
just when ev`rything`s better,
Now you come back
just when ev`rything`s great,
Now you come back,
but I`ve got it together,
Now you come back,
but it`s a little too late.

Count up the seasons,
Count up the months,
Count up the days you`ve been gone,
I was a grievin` fool for you once,
But now you`ve been gone for too long.

And you just drop by
On a night with a full moon shining
And you just say hi
And you ask if I`m by myself,
Well, you might think I`m still the same fool you left here pining,
Hey, but I`m a brand new guy
And I suggest you go somewhere else.

Now you come back
just when ev`rything`s better,
Now you come back
just when ev`rything`s great,
Now you come back,
but I`ve got it together,
Now you come back,
but it`s little too late.

Now you come back
just when ev`rything`s better,
Now you come back
just when ev`rything`s great,
Now you come back,
but I`ve got it together,
Now you come back,
but it`s a little too late.
