That I never understood
And I wonder if you know
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
That I never understood
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head
Never thought the words you said were true
That although you said you'd go
That although you said you'd go
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead
And evening brings the memories I can't forget
And I wonder if you know
Until you did, I never thought you would
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
Until you did I never thought you would
Never knew how much I needed you
