David's Song (I Don't Want To Drive You Away)

(album: What About Me - 1968)

I don't want to drive you away
I'd much rather, baby, have you stay
The door lies open to me, I found a way
To get over all the torment that's been nesting on my troubled mind

I've been wondering and thinking about you
Do you feel the same way that I do?
I know that I've been such a fool with you at time
Now the understanding that you had is mine

I've carried so much sadness in this thought of mine
Built a fire inside me burning the good things from my mind
Searched and found no answers, baby, I'm running out of time
Now it's nearly over and I can look forward to some peace of mind

I've been wondering and thinking about you
Do you feel the same way that I do?
I know that I've been such a fool with you at time
Now the understanding that you had is mine
