If I`d only come and gone — текст песни (Dr. Hook)

If I`d only come and gone
The way I`ve always done with summer girls before
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
Then we wouldn`t face this long and painful righting of the wrong
If I`d just come and gone

If I hadn`t stayed so long
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your door
Tracked no footprints `cross your polished hardwood floor
If I`d have left you in your doorway smilin` drowsily at the dawn
If I`d just come and gone

Then I`d be on a shinin` silver plane dippin` into Denver
Or a schooner blowin` down The Biscayne Bay
You`d be safely tucked away among the pleasure I`d remember
`Stead of lyin` here beside me fearin` restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin` of each new day

If you`d only stopped to read
Cold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls
And heard the mornin` coffee truths I told `em all
I`d still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
You`d never have loved me if I`d just come and gone

If I`d only come and gone
If I`d only come and gone
If I`d only come and gone
