All the long, long times
The eyes or words
Come and gone away
And I don't treat my stomach right every night
My black-eyed friends couldn't stay
Now I'm left with a mess
For sometimes we fight
My black-eyed friends couldn't stay
I'm afraid
I'm way too overdressed for casual guests in time
They've all always got to be leaving
It hurts and I don't know what's worse
An' my black-eyed friends couldn't stay
Flickering on, sad to see the season
