I Hate to See You Go

Halfway down the stairs and I stare
as she moved right through the fair
followed a phantom of liberty
I was a slave and I thought I was free
I'm in a story strange but true
happened to me and it could happen to you

Stay, walking on water wasn't built in a day
I hate to see you go

Black rain on the old ghost town
my sweet love is not around
no one's who they seem to be
don't think that you ever knew me
the fire's burn low on your dark frontier
the sentry's posted and he bends his ear

Stay, walking on water wasn't built in a day
I hate to see you go

There but for fortune I would be without
got a monkey on my back, talking with my mouth

Hand me down my walking cane
and we'll dawdle down the lane
your daddy was bumble bee
don't you wobble when you walk with me
miles to go before we sleep
kindness to the wolf is cruelty to the sheep

Stay, walking on water wasn't built in a day
I hate to see you go

There but for fortune I would be without
got a monkey on my back, talking with my mouth
