I stumbled to the front door as quiet as a drunk man could be And I fumbled to the kitchen and tried to find a cold bite to eat I didn't want to wake her but I wanted her to know where'd I been So I wrote her a note and I hoped she'd forgive me again And I said dear love I know I've been wrong And I know that I've left you too lonely too long And I said dear love I make it up to you Oh yes dear love yes I love you I staggered down the hallway and started to slip in to bed The street lights were shining on the pillow where she laid her head And my world was empty for I could see was a note Pinned to the pillow where the farewell my dear love had wrote And she said dear love I've waited all night But there's too many wrongs now to ever be right And she said dear love I've been lonely too long Oh yes dear love yes I am gone
