Horizontal Departure

And you said you'd never leave me

In fact, you said you'd be my only one

You said you'd never grieve me, baby

For things you do when you were only having fun, fun

You said you'd cry a river

I thought you'd never cry a river of tears

You'd rather die than live without me, baby

But little girl, you're so insincere

You know you count your blessings

But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep

And then I try to court your feelings

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Oh, stop and think for a minute, baby

As they bring the curtain down

Another drink, then another, maybe

A toast to nothing wrong

I chose the style, the duck, and the weaving we were famous for

And here's to him, and here's to yours and

You can thank me for the floor

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know, so you turned around and found another

I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know, so you turned around and found another
