Sit down, oh darling
Won't you sit down beside me
Though I fear that I've no good news to tell
Oh yes, hold me now
If for one last time only
And talk to the boy you used to know
And tell me all about your man
How he's sweet and he's stable
And he's free with the love I did hide
And make me see how I was cruel
A weight on your shoulders
And he's lifted you up where you belong
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good-timing man
The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep
Is but a memory
And when you wake up in the morning
With that man at your table
Set perfect for a family of two
Oh please think not of me
But your new true love only
It's enough that I'm thinking of you
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good-timing man
The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep
Is but a memory
So here's to forgetting
I play like a poor wounded angel
But I am a good-timing man
The innocent boy who would sing you to sleep
Is but a memory
