I stumbled to the front door as quiet as a drunk man could be
And I fumbled to the kitchen and tried to find a cold bite to eat
I didn't want to wake her but I wanted her to know where'd I been
So I wrote her a note and I hoped she'd forgive me again

And I said dear love I know I've been wrong
And I know that I've left you too lonely too long
And I said dear love I make it up to you
Oh yes dear love yes I love you

I staggered down the hallway and started to slip in to bed
The street lights were shining on the pillow where she laid her head
And my world was empty for I could see was a note
Pinned to the pillow where the farewell my dear love had wrote

And she said dear love I've waited all night
But there's too many wrongs now to ever be right
And she said dear love I've been lonely too long
Oh yes dear love yes I am gone
