You say you had to go

And why, you didn't know

I tried to understand

When you call me from Santa Fe

And said you needed one more day

And you'd be back to hold my hand

Ah but you let me down again

And winter turned to spring

And you called from Tennessee

And you got the best of me

You promised me you wouldn't stay

In Memphis one more day

And you'd be back to hold my hand

Ah but you let me down again

And you called from the coast

Saying you were lost

And it was me you missed the most

You promised me you wouldn't stay

In Mobile more than one more day

And you'd be back to hold my hand

And you called me from Bellmore

And said you needed one more day

And you'd be back home again

You promised me you wouldn't stay

In Denver more than one more day

And you'd be back to hold my hand

And you called me from Santa Fe

And said you needed on more day

And you'd be back home again

Ah but you let me down again
