Lyric If I d only come and gone

If I d only come and gone
The way I ve always done with summer girls before
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
Then we wouldn t face this long and painful righting of the wrong
If I d just come and gone

If I hadn t stayed so long
And merely parked my dusty boots outside your door
Tracked no footprints cross your polished hardwood floor
If I d have left you in your doorway smilin drowsily at the dawn
If I d just come and gone

Then I d be on a shinin silver plane dippin into Denver
Or a schooner blowin down The Biscayne Bay
You d be safely tucked away among the pleasure I d remember
Stead of lyin here beside me fearin restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin of each new day

If you d only stopped to read
Cold hard words I carved on other bedroom walls
And heard the mornin coffee truths I told em all
I d still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song
You d never have loved me if I d just come and gone

If I d only come and gone
If I d only come and gone
If I d only come and gone
