For Another Town

(앨범: Part Of The Game - 1979)

You know I can't understand
Exactly how this all began
Devastated by your touch
Subtle passes weren't enough
You said, "baby take me"
And I, the unsuspecting one
Just made the play
And gave it away
Now, there are no words to save me

So I'm taking this ship
And I'm leaving this port
For another town
It's breaking my heart
But I need a new start
I can't hang around

A slave to disillusioned dreams
Forgets the heart when his body screams
Pretty faces keep him alive
The real feelings hide inside
And so goes the story
Of the fool who bit off more than
He could chew
What can he do?
He's a traveling man forever

I'm taking this ship
And I'm leaving this port
For another town
It's breaking my heart
But I need a new start
I can't hang around

There's really nothing anyone can
Say to me
Unless it's "I love you"

I'm not out to make amends
I'm not out to reap revenge
What's over is over, what's done is done
The curtain is down, I've had my run
Stand by my convictions
But it's just a contradiction to my
Loneliness
Can I forget
I will always love you?
