When A Lover Goes Leavin Too Soon Lyrics

Joe Purdy When A Lover Goes Leavin Too Soon

You wore me down like a lover will
When a lover goes leaving too soon
And you went through my arms like a grinding wheel
Covered in summer's perfume

And you wore me down like a lover will
When a lover goes leaving too soon
And I wouldn't go chasing you if I could
For it ain't the right thing to do

Still I get so tired of these same sad songs
I've been singing too many years
And you came and went and I've added some
It don't matter now there ain't no one here
I ain't as young as I usеd to be
Joe is as fresh as a wild flowеr in June
And these old bones break with the rest of me
When a lover goes leaving too soon
When a lover goes leaving too soon
