My love, could you hold up
For a minute or two
It seems all of my skipping
Has untied my shoe
But the moment these laces
Find themselves in embraces
I'll catch up to you
My dear, just a second
My legs are sore
They feel like they'll fall apart
If pushed one mile more
But if you're still marching
All the way to the shore then
I'll be seeing you real soon
Darling, my sweet
You bring only clear skies
No clouds watch you go
The sun tears up my eyes
Your's is the only shadow
I can see for miles
But it's not something I can hold
Wontcha hold me
Dontcha go
My baby's flown
She can't hold me
Her head has grown
She's on her own
Sometimes I get nervous
Sometimes my smile's fake
But with you there's something new
That makes my boots shake
But all that I had to offer was less than
You wanted to take
So I'll just leave you this note
