Listen sister have you heard about the holiday |
|
Were it the other day |
|
I fell asleep, now she's gone away |
|
So won't you tell me all the secrets |
|
that I need to know |
|
Before I go and throw it all away |
|
Before I go and throw it all away |
|
Maybe there's a couple things that I should have done |
|
Or I could have done |
|
Well I don't know, but she'd still be here today |
|
If I just changed my old perspectives or my attitude |
|
Or the things I do |
|
Well maybe she'd have never gone away |
|
Chorus (done twice): |
|
I am done, take me home [al. & Chuck] |
|
She gave up a long time ago [Rob] |
|
Take the time, take the time [al. & Chuck] |
|
It's a shame he's the last to know [Rob] |
|
So I'll just sing another song about the love and loss |
|
to get my point across |
|
Bestowing words of wisdom on the way |
|
Unless you'd rather hear another one about the rain |
|
or the singer's pain |
|
and the important things that he has to say |
|

|
They were happy in another place |
|
(Turn back the hands of time [Al and Chuck] ) |
|
Always thought they'd get by [all] |
|
Woke one morning, and he heard her say |
|
(Turn back the hands of time [Al and Chuck] ) |
|
Why'd I waste all of my time. [all, only Rob on last refrain] |
|
