When I awake I think of you Who made my heart break and made me feel like a fool You led me on just to bring me down And I fell so low So if the stars are out tonight I'll get up and go
On my way, I walked through town Stopped at your house But you weren't around The lights were on to ward off thieves While you stayed out all night But it was you who stole my heart When you hadn't any right
It's my town but I had to leave it And head South where the climate is kind And if a time comes when I'm feeling better I'll be back with the birds in the Spring
Paid my fare and I took the train I'd soon forget but now I felt the pain I tried to think of better days lying in my berth But I pondered revenge, for what it was worth
It 's my town but I had to leave it And head South where the climate is kind And if a time comes when I'm feeling better I'll be back like the birds in the Spring
