Hey there lover donât you feel so bad
There aint no one gonna take what you once had
Oh you won so many battles but you lost the war
Now itâs time to pack and leave for brighter shores
So you tore up half your letters
Marked the rest âreturn to senderâ
Tore every last picture off the wall
Hey there lover I know she's done you wrong
But what she gave you first wonât do you any harm
Well she faded into silence
Left you standing in the aisle
When morning came you dropped that dried bouquet
But you know she really loved you
Though now thereâs nothing to hold on to
You know certain things can never be undone
So hold your head up high, lover
Drink that wine and toast your lover
Even if sheâs gone and far away
Oh can you remember â what you had
From the first of November â and what was said
That passed away
By the very first of May
I met a lover yesterday on bended knee
He aint waiting for no one to set him free
See he grew his beard and watched the autumn fade to gray
Sittin by the kitchen window, heâs drawn the shade
And the faces laugh around him
âYouâre a fool you lonely bastard,
donât you want to be a happy man like meâ
But he smiles, his eyes a-shining
âMy friend you miss the silver lining
Thereâs only one truth Iâve come to knowâ
