lyrics

if you'd told me you were leaving
i'd 'a understood
i been cold to you; the talking to'd 'a
done me good
i wouldn'ta tried to change yer mind
not even if i could
if you'd told me you were leaving
now yer gone

if you'd told me you were leaving
i'd 'a packed yer things
wouldn't a wanted em around here
once you spread your wings
now they're everywhere i look
you gotta know that stings
wish you'd told me you were leaving
now yer gone

i'm haunted by the memory of your face
even though i know that you are in a better place

if you'd told me you were leaving
i'd a let you go
it's a woman's right to leave her man
and tell him so
why you tried to sneak away
no one will ever know

if you'd told me you were leaving
wish you'd told me you were leaving
should have told me you were leaving
now yer gone

notes

tonight i had tried to work on several recordings i've been chipping away at for a few weeks, but wasn't getting anywhere on any of them, so i gave up and went to make dinner. while preparing it, i started to sing this little number. i ate, then sat down and finished the song in about an hour. wish that happened more often. a decent recording of this should be forthcoming, but i had to strike while the iron was hot.

added some lyrics to the bridge with becky's help. i think it makes the situation a bit clearer whilst still not quite beating you over the head with it. maybe. Gabemcelwain 07:12, 13 March 2009 (PDT)
