If you see him, say hello, he might be in Tangier He left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear Say for me that I'm all right though Things get kind of slow He might think that I've forgotten him, Don't tell him it isn't so. We had a falling-out, like lovers often will And to think of how he left that night, It still brings me a chill And though our separation, It pierced me to the heart He still lives inside of me, we've never been apart If you get close to him, kiss him once for me I always have respected him For doing what he did and gettin' free Oh, whatever makes him happy, I won't stand in the way Though the bitter taste still lingers on From the night I tried to make him stay I see a lot of people as I make the rounds And I hear his name here and there As I go from town to town And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft. Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past I know every scene by heart, They all went by so fast If he's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find Tell him he can look me up if he's got the time.
