Times like these when I’m so alone
Just waiting in the dark for her to come home
And I listen to the winds say her name so soft
Why she went away Lord I’ve never known.

I can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever know
Why I sit by my door each night and day
Still lost in a love that wouldn’t let me go
Will she ever know when I’m gone away?

And though she’s gone I remember the song
The one she wrote ‘fore the line was drawn
A song that lingers in the old lovers’ lane
Like the cool of the eve and colors of the dawn.

I can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever know
Why I can’t love another in this life so blue
Still lost in her words she said long ago
Will she ever know what she never knew?

So times like these when I sing with a sigh
Just playing my bow till my tears run dry
And I listen to the whisper of soft summer winds
Lord I’ll never know why she didn’t say goodbye.
