If I'd Only Come and Gone
(Shel Silverstein)If I'd only come and goneThe way I've always done with summer girls beforeShared one night with you and never reached for moreThen we wouldn't face this long and painful righting of the wrongIf I'd just come and goneIf I hadn't stayed so longAnd merely parked my dusty boots outside your doorTracked no footprints 'cross your polished hardwood floorIf I'd have left you in your doorway smilin' drowsily at the dawnIf I'd just come and goneThen I'd be on a shinin' silver plane dippin' into DenverOr a schooner blowin' down The Biscayne BayYou'd be safely tucked away among the pleasure I'd remember'Stead of lyin' here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside meThat might awaken with the breakin' of each new dayIf you'd only stopped to readCold hard words I carved on other bedroom wallsAnd heard the mornin' coffee truths I told 'em allI'd still be on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered songYou'd never have loved me if I'd just come and goneLetras de cancionesIf I'd only come and goneIf I'd only come and goneIf I'd only come and gone(c) Tro-Essex Music Ltd.
