Left Behind Songtext
von Pete Bernhard

I knew a girl now she was long and tall
Slept in the kitchen with her feet out in the hall
She never did too much talking
I always thought that was my fault
Looking back that must have been
Just something crazy I was taught
Well I ain′t spoken to her here in quite some time
And the years just pass on by like that scenery outside
But oh I can't buy back them things I left behind


I knew a man now he taught me a few songs
In the porch light he would sing and then he would nod off
And oh I still sing them songs now that I was taught
And he creeps just like some criminal now back in tune with thoughts
He used to write me letters now when he was feeling clean
Till he slipped into the darkness never to be retrieved

Well now I can′t buy back them things I left behind
No now I can't buy back them things I left behind

I always have been the quick at leaving kind
I never was the sort now to be left behind
I could pack up everything that I thought was mine
And be gone before the ink upon that letter had dried
See my pockets full of holes
I see my pockets full of gold
I got some beautiful possessions living in pawn shop windows

But oh I can't buy back them things I left behind
No now I can′t buy back them things I left behind
