I tried to make it like old times I tried to play and sing in rhyme I forced a smile and a kiss or two Whoever was there, it wasn't you The wilderness has always called you And now Alaska beckons Adventure waits and we are through I'll accept that now I reckon Five thousand miles away you'll roll But that is just a hike An afternoon romp or a picnic stroll Compared to the gulf between love and like I'll make an effort to see you off With smiles and more shared kisses But somehow it is not enough 'Cause boy and man, they misses Desperation drives you to this place Each Spring, I've learned too late You run and play and laugh and race This time I cannot wait If you come back, I'll play some games And have a drink or two But don't ask me about any names If I spend the night with you Our paths have paralleled for some years We walked together with such fun So no more lies, and no more tears It's time to have some fun Another waits somewhere for me I don't have to try to find her I'll just be here when she comes to see And spring my trap and bind her She'll play with me for a little while And maybe cook for us But when she sees behind my smile She'll pack and take the bus And alone again just me and him We'll share whatever's left And I'll pretend my choice is whim And not say I'm bereft I've got your golf clubs if you want them when you come back |
