Well I knew some day your runnin’ would be through
And you’d think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
You’d forget all about the bad
And think only of all the laughs that we had
And you’d want to come home
Now it ain’t hard feelings or nothing, sugar
That ain’t what’s got me singing this song
It’s just nobody knows, honey, where love goes
But when it goes, it’s gone gone
And when you’re alone, you’re alone
When you’re alone, you’re alone
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
Started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said stand behind me when the game got a little too rough
But the joke was on me, there was no one even there to call my bluff
Goin’ back to New York City, I do believe I’ve had enough
(Lyrics transcribed as sung at this performance)
You let me kiss you on Broadway in a black Cadillac
And it was good while it lasted
Last night I didn’t sleep at all
I found another empty wall
And I couldn’t get past it
And for a minute in the afternoon
I almost didn’t think of you
It was good while it lasted
