I Didn't Know You Were Leaving Today

I didn't know you were leaving today Time runs from me like a girl I ruined the diary counting down days On the front porch your rocking chair waits I'm writing songs like the breaking of day Forced from my bed by your crying And maybe I call more than I can afford But there's no one here left I can pay I stand at the corner all ready to wave I'll hang up your clothes if you come back this way And when the road gets too much for you, drop me a line I'll welcome you in arms wide I've had things to rearrange I moved all the lights to our room And that white drеss you like, I turned it blue ovеrnight I hope you can love me this way I'll stand at the door if you're coming back late Leave out your coat and I'll wash out the stains And when the road gets too much for you, Drop me a line I'll welcome you in, arms wide Come apart on the last train I'll be the bag in your arms I'm impatient but quiet The waiting wife If I'm driving, I'll drive you away
