The Lover
Balto

Hey there lover don’t you feel so bad

There aint no one gonna take what you once had

Oh you won so many battles but you lost the war

Now it’s time to pack and leave for brighter shores


So you tore up half your letters

Marked the rest “return to sender”

Tore every last picture off the wall


Hey there lover I know she's done you wrong

But what she gave you first won’t do you any harm


Well she faded into silence

Left you standing in the aisle

When morning came you dropped that dried bouquet


But you know she really loved you

Though now there’s nothing to hold on to

You know certain things can never be undone


So hold your head up high, lover

Drink that wine and toast your lover


Even if she’s gone and far away


Oh can you remember – what you had

From the first of November – and what was said

That passed away

By the very first of May


I met a lover yesterday on bended knee

He aint waiting for no one to set him free

See he grew his beard and watched the autumn fade to gray

Sittin by the kitchen window, he’s drawn the shade


And the faces laugh around him

“You’re a fool you lonely bastard,

don’t you want to be a happy man like me”


But he smiles, his eyes a-shining

“My friend you miss the silver lining

There’s only one truth I’ve come to know”
