Jaded Lover

(álbum: Ridin' High - 1975)

Well, now it won't be but a week or two
Till you'll be out loving someone new
Seems like it's happened a hundred times before
But I can see you been spreading yourself thin too
It's a lonely stage that we been going through
So don't get up I can find my own way to the door

And I can see you are an angel
With wings that won't unfold
Tune up your harp
Polish your old halo
The only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sitting there crying like I'm the first one to go

You may have thirty lovers behind you
I can feel you but I just can't find you
Seems like you would have found your own self by now
But late at night those lover's tears come back
Faces in your dreams, fingers in your back
Voices of the memories for crying out loud

Well, it's a lovely sight to see you in your sleep
I believe I'm leaving I'm in too deep
I guess that's easy enough for any man to say
Still we'd never agree if we talked all night
Things are getting heavy and I'm traveling light
Goodbye you Jaded Lover you under cover queen for a day

"Well, sit on it darling..."
