Testo di 'The romance blues' di Yonder Mountain String Band

I'm talking to you, little girl, but you don't seem to hear me
Never really listened anyway, no you never seemed to care
I'm walking out the door, I swear this time forever
For this hell you put me through is too much this time to bear

How could you tell me all those lies when you looked right in my eyes
I swear its more than my poor heart can take
You've wronged me for so long that's why I tell you now
That I'm walking out the door this time forever

I've cried for you, little girl, not tears of constant sorrow
Flowin' from my soul you see now because of what you've done
My sights have set, it's true, on a future without you
For this hell you've given me, Lord, would kill an old man

How could you tell me for so long that you wer-en't doing me wrong
Now I've had all that my poor hear can take
You've wronged me for so long that's why I tell you now
That I'm walking out the door this time forever

Cold life and misery seems in store for me
Punishment for my own wrongs I've done
Living this short life alone is my destiny
Will that girl hear me when I cry

I'm talkin' to you, little girl, but you don't seem to hear me
But I'm hoping that you do 'cause I'm leaving now, goodbye
My sights have set, it's true, on a future without you
Now, I'm hoping that you hear me because I'm leaving now, goodbye

Oh Lord, I hope you feel the sting that only loneliness can bring
I've had more than my poor heart can take
You've wronged me for so long that's why I tell you now
That I'm walking out the door this time forever
You've wronged me for so long that's why I tell you now
That I'm walking out the door this time forever
