Well the radio played and the bed was made And my lover watched the sunlight as it crawled into the shade To the shade And he left the room as softly as he came Well it was not spring and it was not in the fall Was the middle of the winter when he pinned me to the wall To the wall It was freezing when he pinned me to the wall So I pulled on my coat and I sowed up my dress As my lover lay there sleeping, well I packed my things and left Oh when I left Well that sun was barely rising when I left Well the devil has been known to chase angels from their homes And I know I got some angel left inside me But my halo's hanging low My halo's hanging low And I'm nine hundred miles from my home Well my cool drink of water, it's been turned to gasoline And my man he don't love me, he's the lowest man I've seen Well let your ears hang low, hear the sighing of the crow This terrible secret we've been whispering If you gotta go, you gotta go alone Trembling as the arrow stands above Oh before I left I watched him as he lay Exhausted by the madness that unraveled in his brain Well goodbye darling, goodbye darling Never will you see me anymore Farewell darling, farewell darling Never will I see you anymore
