18th Of December

Oh I get that urge for leaving, there sure is a lot to see
When I hear those big jets whining, it makes me want to leave
I have never been to Paris, still never been to Maine
I sure like California, could leave on the next plane

But I hear your voice calling me, begging me to stay
I'm torn and I'm tattered, the sky has turned to gray
My mind's numb, I haven't slept, and my heart it aches for you
If I stay here my darling, I don't know if I'll make it through

On the 18th day of December that's when I did go
I packed my bags and I headed south, I walked right out the door
All alone in the dwelling place, as cold as cold could be
Not a soul in sight that evening, just this feeling of relief

She's as fine as the evening sun, I would not tell a lie
But I could not give my life to her no matter how hard I tried
I may never find another, I've come to realise
But you can't hold back a roaming man, darling, I apologise

I broke her heart so suddenly, like a thief in the night
But as sure as the morning comes, I know that it was right
I did not mean to leave you on, for that you won't forget
This heart of mine is breaking, and I'm filled with regret

It breaks my heart to know dear, I could never say goodbye
But I know my darling, you'd be unhappy as my bride
You'll surely find another man, who'll take you as his wife
And I'll be alone my dear, livin' the bachelor's life
