Jo's Lament Lyrics - Gasoline Alley - Rod Stewart

I stayed away so long Jo 

don't think that I could come back 

You're doin' so well without me girl 

you'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at 

You knew me when it was all my world 

Somehow it's all passed me by 

But don't let on to my friends Jo dear 

that things ain't turned out as planned 

You bore my child then I left you aside 

I don't expect you to forgive 

But Jo I can say in a funny old way 

I was sure that I had it made 

I still possess a photograph 

my memory to refresh 

But fade it may Jo I can say 

I was sure that I had it made

You bore my child then I left you aside 

I don't expect you to forgive 

But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid 

to sleep alone for the rest of my days
