I stayed

Call me sometime
You said walking away
I watched you go
As I stayed

You left to a different place
A location far away
Once again I watched you go
As I stayed

Months passed
You moved from girl to girl
Place to place
And I watched you go
As I stayed

Every morning I'd call
And get your answering machine
As last night you left
And I stayed

For a while I did just that
Watched you leave day after day
As I waited at my house
And stayed

Fall rolled into winter
And winter to spring
And like the leaves you left
And I stayed

But no not on this day
I woke up and didn't pick up the phone
I walked out the door
Of my home

Loving you like a fool
My debt to you I had paid
As of the morning you left
And I walked away.
