In the quiet of the evening. I sing a mournful song. As the night wind blows a low lonesome moan. Oh she left without a warning. My world came tumbling down.
(Verse 1). Everything I own is in my old Ford, except what's on my back. I got one more stop before I go to pick up my last check. And I'll leave a note that says goodbye to my good ol' gal named Fae.
Looking through this worn out book of pictures. Reliving all the love we once knew. Searching through the pages of my memories. Everywhere I look there's me and you.
In the woods of Sipsey. The trees are so tall, an unscalable wall. So high and green. Oh beware in Sipsey. Therere snakes on the ground they move with no sound.
Wish I could stop these tears I wish I didn't care wish I didn't love you anymore. Wish I could be set free from all your memories wish I didn't love you anymore.
With pen in hand. You sign your name. Today at five. I'll be on that train. And you'll be free. And I'll be alone. So alone. . If you think. We can't find the love we once knew.
written by Mosie Lister. . Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low. In the darkness as black as could be. And I felt so alone and I cried oh Lord don't hide your face from me.
There you are standing at the window again. I know there's something tuggin' at your soul. You look like could run a hole in the wind you're burning up with desire to go.

Your world was so different from mine, don't you see?. We just couldn't be close though we tried. We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same.
Since I have known you there's a shadow hanging over you. Keeping you from scene that you might need me. It's too bad that you're not glad for I could take you to the place where love is.
What changed the look in his eyes?. What made the change in his heart?. What changed his mind about the love we had?. What's tearing us apart?. . What's come over my baby?.
You like to mix with people, I like to be alone. Baby you can stay out all night, and I'd just as well stay home. Two people with so little in common, and different as we can be.

Take your scissors and take your time. And cut along the dotted line. And follow closely my design. For I want to be what I'm cut out to be. . Give me kisses warm and sweet.
Walk through this world with me go where I go. Share all my dreams with me I need you so. In life we search and some of us find I've looked for you a long long time.
