Far away you've gone, and left me here So cold without you, so lonely dear May June July I count the time Every minute I go takes the smell of your clothes Further away
'Cause you've gone away Where there isn't a telephone wire Still I wait by the phone You don't even write to say goodbye Goodbye
I have saved every piece of paper Like grocery lists and note cards To do lists and race scores So just in case you change your mind And come back, I've kept everything safe
While you're gone away Where there isn't a telephone wire Still I wait by the phone You don't even write to say goodbye
Get me out get me off Get me out get me off Oh this is a ride going nowhere But somewhere that I despise Going nowhere to end up with a tearful I don't wanna go on with these pieces of paper That you left behind
This is a ride going nowhere But somewhere that I despise Going nowhere to end up with a tearful I don't wanna go on with these pieces of paper To keep me company in my old age
While you're gone away Where there isn't a telephone wire Still I wait by the phone Why don't you write to say goodbye Goodbye
