(Shel Silverstein) 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 (c) Tro-Essex Music Ltd.
