Jo`s Lament — текст песни (Stewart Rod)

I stayed away so long, Jo,
don`t think that I could come back.
You`re doin` so well without me girlie,
you`d laugh if you`d know where I`m at.
You knew me when it was all my world,
somehow it`s all passed me by,
but don`t let on to my friends Jo dear
that things ain`t turned out as planned.
You bore my child, then I left you aside,
I don`t expect you to forgive,
but Jo, I can say in a funny way,
I was sure that I had it made.
I still possess a photograph,
my mem`ry to refresh.
But fate it may Jo, I can say
I was sure that I had it made.
You bore my child, then I left you aside,
I don`t expect you to forgive.
Now I`m not so young, and I`m so afraid
to sleep alone for the rest of my days.
